Ski Mountaineer Legend Doug Coombs Dies in La Grave Accident
It saddens us here at Rock/Creek and ClimbingGear.com to report that the legendary ski mountaineer Doug Coombs has passed away in a tragic accident while skiing in La Grave. Doug visited us for a slideshow back in November and he was a pleasure to have around. He will be missed.
Doug is survived by his wife Emily and young son David, and the Doug Coombs Memorial Fund will help provide for them during this time of mourning and in their future.
Pistehors.com has more details.
