On a clear Saturday morning at the Soldier Mountain Ski Area in Fairfield Idaho, Taylor was involved in a ski accident that left her unconscious and not breathing. After 45 minutes of CPR by ski patrol, she was taken by Life Flight to Boise. After a night in ICU, Taylor succumbed to her injuries.

Taylor brought joy and beauty to this world with an unbridled spirit and athletically determined mind. She was adventurous and curious. Whether it was mountain biking, shot put, star gazing or drawing, she excelled at everything she tried. Taylor touched the lives of many. She was a ray of sunshine with an infectious laugh and kind and caring heart. She was spirited, energetic, independent, and witty. She will be greatly missed by those who loved and cared for her.

You could always count on Taylor for a little comic relief. Her friends and family have been fondly recounting the many memories of her goofing for the camera or pulling a crazy expression. Taylor loved to light up the room with smiles and laughter and we are going to greatly miss her energy.

Taylor established herself as a strong athlete with a bright future. She loved team and individual sports. In her position at first base, she was her baseball team’s MVP and could dig the hardest throw out of the dirt every time. In track and field she was already recognized for shot put and disk and was already being considered by recruiters. In fact, she had already set the Twin Falls High school record in the shot put.

We respectfully request that the school board resolve to name the track at Twin Falls High School in memory of Taylor Biggs; a beloved athlete and student.
