It appears the 33-year-old snowboarder who died at Breckenridge yesterday was attempting a trick at the Park Lake Terrain Park.
Denver news stations and newspapers say James McLean, a podiatrist from Leawood, Kansas, died after landing on his head just before 2 p.m. He was wearing a helmet. The coroner said he died of a fractured neck.
Here's an UPDATE to this post. McLean was starting a career in physical medicine and rehabilitation, not podiatry, as previously noted.
Peace be with James and his family and friends. Man, you just never know when it will happen.

Jim was a PHYSIATRIST not a PODIATRIST. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met and one of the most talented physicians I have learned under. He will be sorely missed. He was on his way to building a great legacy and career. This truly is a tragedy.
