8 hours agoGreedy Skier Stops Lift In Race For First Chair
A skier at Keystone Resort attempted to snake first chair, forcing the lift to stop and provoking the lift operator.
Deputies were dispatched to the resort at approximately 12:20 p.m. after receiving a report of an unresponsive skier on "The Grizz," a single black diamond run located in Keystone's Outback terrain. According to authorities, the skier-a male visitor from Colorado's Front Range-was discovered by fellow guests, who immediately began CPR and contacted emergency services. Keystone Ski Patrol responded quickly and administered advanced life-saving measures at the scene before transporting the skier to a nearby helicopter landing zone. The individual was then airlifted by Flight for Life to CommonSpirit St. Anthony Summit Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
