KEES NEDERHAND
1988 - 2002
For those of you that didn't know about Kees Nederhand (pronounced "case"), he was a 14 year old MHSSC camper from New York. He was killed when he skied into the rocks on lower Palmer during a warm-up run on August 14, 2002. The memorial we see each morning on our way up the chairlift serves as a reminder to us all that life is precious.
Brandy Powell and I put together a memorial video the day after the
accident. (click the link)

i
have to admit, i've
never been to
mhssc-however...i
joined this group
because my brother
was Kees
Nederhand...he was
at mhssc on august
14 2002 when he
suffered a tragic
accident on the
trails and passed
away.
the reason for me
joining, and leaving
this wall post was
because it is hard
for me to find
out/see much of his
last couple days as
i have yet to head
out to mt hood
myself (being from
NY)--but was
wondering if anyone
who was at camp with
kees would be
willing to share any
experiences/photos/memorie
any little bit would
be much appreciated.
thanks
guys-hopefully ill
be able to get out
there soon and see
what exactly it is
that you guys love
so much!
A new cross for Kees was put up in summer 2013.
