A tragic incident occurred on Tuesday at Keystone Resort in Keystone, Colorado, where a skier lost his life after a crash, as reported by the police. The Summit County Sheriff’s Office shared on Facebook that an investigation revealed the skier, an unidentified male, was speeding down a trail when he lost control and collided with a padded light pole off the skiing trail. Despite efforts by the Keystone Ski Patrol to administer advanced life-saving procedures, the skier was unfortunately pronounced dead at a local hospital. Authorities confirmed that there was no suspicion of intoxication or foul play involved, and the local coroner’s office now has custody of the body. Sheriff Jaime FitzSimons expressed condolences to the family and friends affected by this tragic event.
