Utah's Bryce Astle, 19, grew up racing with the Snowbird Ski Team. He was 13th in giant slalom at the U.S. Alpine Championships in Squaw Valley last March, finishing as the top junior. He had been invited to train with the development team this season. He posted strong results in South American Cup races in Chile this summer, and was coming off a pair of top-10 slalom and giant slalom NorAm Cup finishes in Canada last month, where he was on the junior podium in all but two events.
The Astle family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to Snowbird Sports Education Foundation, 3165 E Millrock Drive, STE 190, Holladay, UT 84121.
Astle, 19, hailed from Sandy, Utah, and had raced at Snowbird. He was invited to train with the team this season. "Bryce was a fun-loving guy," Rearick told the paper. "A guy who loved being on the mountain, loved being outside. I remember calling him up and inviting him to a training camp, and four hours later he was there, ready to go."

(CNN)An avalanche in Austria claimed the lives of two promising young ski racers Monday, the U.S. Ski Team said.
Ronnie Berlack, 20, and Bryce Astle, 19, were among a group of six athletes skiing at an Austrian resort. The four others managed to ski out of the slide, the team said on its website.
"Ronnie and Bryce were both outstanding ski racers who were passionate about their sport," U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association President and CEO Tiger Shaw said in a statement.
Berlack, from Franconia, New Hampshire, had been named to the U.S. Ski Team's Development Team. Astle, from Sandy, Utah, had been invited to train with the development team.
Messages are being left at the team's official Facebook page.
The avalanche occurred at around 2,800 meters (about 9,200 feet) in elevation. There was a level-three avalanche risk in the area (out of five) for places above 2,200 meters (7,200 feet).
