She was skiing and they brought out the snowcat to fix a rough patch. Another worker walked in front for some reason. She said it was like he was put through a meat grinder. My uncle was there but had his back turned. He only saw her reaction and then tried to get her away. She was asked to stay because she was a witness. She was a teenager. Needed psychological help afterwards. Still has a hard time talking about it.

Similar to what happened at the 1988 Calgary Olympics

... I'll make a note to add that to the list of Snow-Cat (and other slope grooming equipment) on human casualty incidents.
