'Passion for the outdoors': US university student killed while snowboarding at Perisher identified as new details reveal he was in Australia to work for snow season

A young American university student killed in a snowboarding accident at Perisher had travelled to Australia to work during the snow season before tragedy struck. The man, identified as Drew Youngquist, 22, died at the Perisher Ski Resort while snowboarding about 30 kilometres west of Jindabyne on Tuesday afternoon. Mr Youngquist was seriously injured after he hit a padded pole. NSW Police said emergency services were called to the scene at Perisher Valley about 2.30pm. A NSW Ambulance spokesman said a Toll Ambulance helicopter and several ambulance crews attended, but despite the desperate efforts of ski rescue teams and paramedics, Youngquist could not be saved. Mr Youngquist was an experienced skier and had only been in Australia for three months after travelling across the world to work as a guide, according to the Daily Telegraph. Earlier in the year, he wrote on LinkedIn he was heading to Australia to work for a local Jindabyne-based outdoors company, Action Learning Initiatives. The company's director Nathan Brown told The Daily Telegraph the accident had left Mr Youngquist's colleagues ''deeply saddened'', as they described him to be a 'young man full of energy and passion for the outdoors'. 'We are deeply saddened by the passing of Drew yesterday. He was a much-loved member of our team at ALI,' Mr Brown said. 'He was a warm and loving young man full of energy and passion for the outdoors. 'We will miss him, and our thoughts are with his family in Utah during this tragic time.' 'I grew up skiing from a young age at Snowbasin resort. After my dad taught me how to ski, I decided I wanted to snowboard and taught myself that,'Youngquist previously wrote online. 'I recently got into ski touring and got my avalanche rescue certifications. I even enjoy working on my skis and just finished my first season as a ski patroller." A report on his death is due to be prepared for the coroner.

American man who died at Perisher revealed as 22-year-old Drew Youngquist

An American man who had travelled to Australia for the snow season has died in a snowboarding accident at Perisher, just months after arriving to work as a guide. 22-year-old Drew Youngquist died around 2.30pm on Tuesday after colliding with a padded pole on the ski fields near Jindabyne, about five-and-a-half hours south of Sydney. Despite urgent efforts by ski rescue crews and NSW Ambulance, he could not be revived. The Daily Telegraph reported that Mr Youngquist was an experienced skier who had been in Australia for only about three months. His family in the United States were informed of the tragedy within hours. Earlier this year, Mr Youngquist had shared his excitement on LinkedIn about joining local Jindabyne-based company Action Learning Initiatives. The company's director, Nathan Brown, said his colleagues were devastated. 'We are deeply saddened by the passing of Drew yesterday. He was a much-loved member of our team at ALI,' Mr Brown said. 'He was a warm and loving young man full of energy and passion for the outdoors. We will miss him, and our thoughts are with his family in Utah during this tragic time.' 'I grew up skiing from a young age at Snowbasin resort. After my dad taught me how to ski, I decided I wanted to snowboard and taught myself that,' he wrote online. 'I recently got into ski touring and got my avalanche rescue certifications. I even enjoy working on my skis and just finished my first season as a ski patroller.' Perisher's vice president and general manager, Nathan Butterworth, expressed his condolences. 'Perisher Ski Resort, Ski Patrol, and the entire Vail Resorts family extend our deepest sympathy and support to our guest's family and friends,' he said. NSW Police are preparing a report for the coroner.

Three men including teen arrested, loaded revolver seized over alleged planned public place shooting in Sydney's west

Three men have been arrested and a loaded revolver seized after a police operation uncovered an alleged plot for a public place shooting to be carried out in Sydney's west. NSW Police said the men including a teenager have been arrested in relation to the alleged organisation of vehicles to be used in the shooting. The chaotic scenes unfolded overnight when police conducted a high-risk vehicle stop of a black Kia Serato at the intersection of the M4 and Prospect Highway in Blacktown at about 12.05am on Wednesday. During the intercept police reportedly fired bean bag rounds into the vehicle to bring it to a halt. Then, a 22-year-old driver and the 17-year-old passenger – both males – were arrested. The 22-year-old was allegedly bitten by a police dog and treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance before being taken to Blacktown Hospital for treatment. There, he remains under police guard. The teenager was also taken to Blacktown Police Station where inquiries are continuing. Around the same time of the first arrest, police stopped a VW T-cross travelling along Carlton Street, Granville. The driver and sole occupant of the vehcile, a 36-year-old man, was arrested without incident. He was taken to Granville Police Station where inquiries are also continuing. A search warrant was later executed at a home on Roebuck Avenue, Willmont, where police allegedly seized a loaded Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver. Investigations are continuing.
