Malibu Mourns Loss of Emily Clothier

Emily Clothier, the 14-year-old daughter of the Western Malibu Boats Sales Manager, Steve Clothier, died Thursday after a snow skiing accident in Lake Tahoe. Emily was a competitive ski racer and was practicing with her coach when she veered off the trail and hit a tree. She was wearing a helmet and was treated at the scene and then flown to Barton Memorial Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Emily was a freshman at South Tahoe High and was a member of the school's ski team. She helped the team to a second-place finish at the NIAA State Skiing Championships earlier this month at Mount Rose. She also was a key runner on the freshman cross-country team, helping the Vikings to a ninth-place finish at the Woodbridge Invitational last September.
