I first saw a note about this on Pierre Bourque's site a little while ago.
Calgary's Hima Maher was one of two skiers killed in an avalanche near Golden, BC yesterday. In addition to being an active road racer, Maher owned and operated a high-performance driving school, based out of Calgary.
Grand-Am (in a story by TRG team owner Kevin Buckler) has confirmed the bad news with a post on its own site. Hima is included in a TRG video on Youtube here.
Inside Track offiers our condolences to his family and friends.
In an email to Inside Track, Bourque said of Maher, "Hima was as passionate about his racing as he was about his skiing. He will be missed by the many who knew him." The two drove a TRG car at Daytona in the 2008 Rolex 24.
UPDATE: The Globe & Mail has a story on the tragic chain of events here.
The photo of Hima Maher is from the Grand-Am site.
