Deer Valley has renamed its freestyle ski lift to honor Jeret “Speedy” Peterson, the talented by troubled Olympic silver medal aerialist who committed suicide last year. The drag lift serves the freestyle jumping hill and is now called the Hurricane after his signature jump, a quintuple twisting triple flip. Peterson won seven World Cups, two of which he nabbed at Deer Valley. Via the Ski Channel.
