Overview
- Deputies responded around 2:11 p.m. on Jan. 19 after friends reported CPR in progress on Lower Go Devil near the Mountain House base area.
- The rider, a man from the Front Range, was with several friends and wearing a helmet, and investigators say he hit the snow "with force" without striking trees, people, or objects.
- Keystone Ski Patrol provided lifesaving measures and transported him to Keystone Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
- The Summit County Coroner will conduct an autopsy and release the man's identity as the sheriff's office continues its investigation.
- This case follows a Jan. 7 skier fatality at Keystone and a late-December crash that left another guest severely injured, with some reporting noting hardpack conditions statewide without establishing causation.
