Two die in ski accidents

Two more people have died in ski accidents in the Eastern Townships, bringing to four the number who have been killed at Quebec ski resorts in just over a month.

A 45-year-old man, who was skiing with his family at Mount Sutton, died on Friday when he lost control and hit a tree. The native of Verch¿res, Que., died in hospital a few hours later.

And a 42-year-old skier died in a similar accident on Friday at Mount Bromont ski centre.

Last month a 21-year-old man from Gatineau died at Bromont after hitting a tree on a trail designated as very difficult.

A nine-year-old girl died a week earlier when she hit a tree while skiing with her father at Mont St-Sauveur in the Laurentians, north of Montreal.
