An Estonian man in his 50s died after colliding with a rock formation while skiing at Himoks, where the incident is currently under investigation by the police.
A tragic skiing accident occurred last Friday at Himoks in central Finland, resulting in the death of a 50-year-old Estonian man. Reports indicate that the victim collided with a rocky slope on the northwest trail, which is classified as moderately difficult. The accident not only affected the local skiing community but also drew the attention of authorities due to the international implications of the victim's nationality.
The Internal Finland police have initiated an investigation into the incident under the suspicion of cause of death.
