It is with heavy hearts that we report that Matilda Rapaport has passed away following an avalanche in Chile.

Matilda was buried in a slide last Thursday while skiing outside Santiago, Chile in the Andes mountains. She passed away today in a Chilean hospital due to complications resulting from lack of oxygen from the time she was buried under the snow. She was 30 years old at the time of death.

*Our thoughts are with her husband Mattias Hargin and their family.
