Seems RCMP intentionally have not released any information, I've been searching out of curiosity to find out what happened but total info vacuum.

name will not be allowed to be posted until such time it is publicly released by the RCMP.
Family may choose as well to not publicly release the name, and we would honor that as well.

To be completely honest we do not fully understand. But he took an unexpected impact at the first corner. There was a speed check lip coming into the corner and he cased the small up slope coming into the corner. Hit it just right and suffered a serious neck injury. after the corner there was a small steep bank he went down and may have been injured again there as he was not in control of the machine. All of the stars had to align for this to happen its a freak accident that turned out completely unexpected and extremely unfortunate. He had been up the hill a couple times before this so he was not going in blind. Right away there was a highly experienced team working on him and they could not stabilize him on the hill so they moved him into the medicentre on the hill where they continued to work on stabilizing him to move him to the hospital once Stars Air ambulance arrived. Unfortunately he did not make it to the helicopter. He had all of his safety gear on and was a very experienced rider. A major major loss for the small community of valemount. Any one who has spent any time in the area knows the Craig family. its amazing how professional and experienced the Ski hills medic team and doctors were. Gives us comfort knowing he had the absolute best chance. Everett had been on a snowmobile since he was 5 years old and It certainly makes a guy realize how fast things can turn sideways regardless of how experienced you are. I dont think it has really sunk in for anyone yet.
