San Francisco woman, Olga Perkovic, and her son, Aaron Goodstein, were killed Sunday after being buried by falling snow near a home at Kirkwood resort.

The Alpine County undersheriff Spencer Case called the deaths of 50-year-old Perkovic and her 7-year-old son, Aaron Goodstein, a “freak accident.” They were on a ski vacation with her two other children and mother, the undersheriff said. He offered his condolences to her husband, David Goodstein, and her family and friends.

Case said the mother and son were just steps away from the front door of the condominium where they were staying at the resort when a trailer-sized chunk of melting snow slid off the roof – and buried them.

Thoughts are with the family and friends at this difficult time.
