Mom, son die skiing to condo in Kirkwood
By Benjamin Spillman, Reno Gazette-Journal
A mother and son from San Francisco died Sunday while skiing to a slope-side condominium at Kirkwood Mountain Resort.
According to the Alpine County Sheriff’s Office, Olga Perkovic, 50, and her son, Aaron Goodstein, 7, died after snow falling from a rooftop buried them.
“It was horrible timing, they were right beneath that one piece of roof and it just unloaded,” said Undersheriff Spencer Case. “A few feet one way or another it could have come out differently.”
