The Sherman family had just landed in Salt Lake City, Utah and were excited to head up to their cabin just below the Park City Ski Resort. After driving up the pitch black, iced over roads, they reached their cabin. The outside temperature was sub zero and they all decided to go to sleep right when they arrived, in preparation for a long day of skiing. When they awoke the next day snow was falling in heaps, covering everything in their sight outside. They were eager to get out onto the mountain and catch some of the fresh pow. The family was surrounded by fog on their first chairlift ride up to the peak of the mountain. The fog coupled with the snowfall was so dense that they could barely see 10 feet in front of themselves. Cautiously, they were making their way down the trails and making first tracks in the fresh powder. By lunch time the family was exhausted and decided to take one more run through an adventure park that weaved through many trees. On their way down, they boy in the family saw a white sheet in the trees that resembled the snow covering them, but knew that it wasn't snow. He stopped and wanted to climb up and see what it was. Because there was so much powder, his parents allowed him to do so. When he reached the height of the white blanket, he pulled on it and all of a sudden, a body fell right on front of the boys father. The parachuter had been dead for a few days.
