NEW MEXICO – It was a very emotional scene Tuesday at the University of New Mexico Hospital as Corey Borg-Massanari was wheeled from the ICU to the operating room to donate his organs.

The Pueblo Native and most recently Vail resident died after being trapped in an avalanche at Taos Ski Valley earlier this month.
