Canadian freestyle legend JP Auclair dies in avalanche
Canadian freestyle legend JP Auclair and his skiing partner Andreas Franzen (SWE) were killed in an avalanche on Monday while on location filming a new video in the far reaches of Chile's remote Aysen region.

Auclair, who once competed for Canada on the Europa Cup and Nor-Am tour in moguls, had gone on over the past 15 years to become one of the most respected and celebrated 'freeskiers' of all time, pushing the limits of freestyle skiing from urban centres to big mountain ranges.

JP Auclair was 37 years old.
