He never shied away from taking any challenge. In his first year at Williams College, the 19-year-old posed as the topper in the NCAA track and field Championships among all first-years in his college. He had amassed stellar numbers in the individual events. Also, he contributed to the team events. “Even when he didn’t have his own best day, he took sincere joy and pride in seeing teammates do well,” the official statement of Williams College claimed about him. The statement also revealed that Alex Kemp had diverse interests. He could own any field, riding on his curiosity and never-say-die attitude. But on January 7, such an urge to explore the unexplored may have become his enemy.
On Monday, it was just yet another fine morning at Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort in Hancock. The skiing enthusiasts were having their regular days on the slope of the mountain. Notably, the summit of the snow bed has a 2,380-foot elevation, whereas the vertical rise is 1,150 feet. It also has 9 lifts to give a proper view of the entire region. Such a friendly slope and the available service have made the region an attractive skiing destination for enthusiasts. But for Alex Kemp, the slope turned into a curse on Monday.
