Snowboarder Killed in Vail Accident

News Link
No reporting of how it happened - only that it was ruled an accident. Could be hitting a tree or falling into a tree well.

UPDATE: It was a tree well. News Link I have been trapped in a tree well but I haven't snowboarded. I can imagine that it is much more difficult to turn yourself around from an upside down position with both feet attached to the snowboard compared to skis where each leg can move independently.
