\u201cMarch 31 \u2014 it\u2019s a day memorialized,\u201d reminded the March 30, 2004, Aspen Times article.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn March 31, 1982, Roberto Gasperl of the Snowmass Ski Patrol was killed by an avalanche in a chute near the Hanging Valley Wall. Candy Ass Chute has since been renamed Roberto\u2019s to honor him.\u201d<\/p>\n

As recalled in the article, \u201cStan Tenner, a 29-year veteran of the Snowmass Ski Patrol, said he and Gasperl, along with a few other patrollers, were conducting control work\u201d when the slope fractured above them and the slide struck \u201c\u2018Little John\u2019 Erspamer and Gasperl. Erspamer escaped with injuries to his face and leg. \u2018I heard Little John calling at me to get down there, Roberto was buried,\u2019 Tenner said. \u2018Roberto tried to ski out of it and didn\u2019t make it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
