This is so, so tragic... A 25-year-old sadly passed away this month after a horrific skiing accident in which he slammed into a chairlift tower. The young man, Walker Phenix Nelson, was skiing at Welch Village Ski & Snowboard Area in southern Minnesota around 8:37 p.m. per the Goodhue County Sheriff's Office via The US Sun. Tragically, this ski trip would end in tragedy when it's unclear if Walker lost control, but he ended up coming down the hill and crashing into a chairlift tower. Several people are reported to have seen the incident, and did what they could.
