SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- He was 7 years old and loved to ski, a child described as simply "happy out on the slopes."
Now members of the Sugar Bowl Ski Team are being comforted by grief counselors and are offering their own condolences and support to the family of John Henderson, who was a second-grader at North Davis Elementary School.
The boy, a member of the ski team, fell from a chair lift he was riding on Sunday with two of his teammates. Two days later, he died after surgery at Renown Medical Center in Reno, according to officials of the Sugar Bowl Resort and its ski team.
