US professional freestyle skier dies in Japan avalanche
An American professional freestyle skier was killed after being caught in an avalanche in Japan on Jan. 29, his family confirmed.

Kyle Smaine, 31, was one of five foreign skiers who were caught in the avalanche on Mount Hakuba Norikura in Nagano Prefecture on Japan's Honshu Island, a Nagano police spokesman said, according to Reuters.

Smaine's father, William Smaine, confirmed his son's death to NBC News.

The skier from Lake Tahoe, California, had shared a video on Instagram earlier in the day that showed him gliding through a wooded area.

"This is what brings me back to Japan each winter," he wrote. "Unbelievable snow quality, non-stop storms, and really fun terrain that seems to get better the more exploring you do."

This one happened at Breckenridge, Colorado, New Year's Eve. How sad.

Also on Saturday, an avalanche in Montana killed a snowmobiler who was swept 600 vertical feet after his vehicle trigged a large slide.

The two back-to-back accidents marked the second and third avalanche fatalities this winter, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, which tracks the deaths nationally.
