Who was Jamie Pierre?

Matthew Jamison "Jamie" Pierre was a professional free skier. Pierre set a world-record cliff jump of 255 feet at the Grand Targhee Resort in Wyoming. He skied away with a bleeding cut lip from being hit by a shovel when his partners dug him out of his 12 foot bomb hole. Google's Sergey Brin had estimated that Pierre was almost at terminal velocity when he hit the ground. Pierre died in November 2011 in an avalanche.
