At southern Oregon’s Mt. Ashland Ski Area, a 76-year-old man passed away on Friday morning while skiing.
The man, who was skiing on a particularly difficult trail when he struck a tree, was not identified by the ski resort authorities. The resort claims that the skier was wearing a helmet at the time of his death.
The general manager of Mount Ashland, Andrew Gast, released a statement saying, “This loss breaks our team’s hearts.” The residents of Mount Ashland are close-knit.
Ashland Fire and Rescue and the ski patrol attempted to revive the man. In order to save the man’s life, an emergency helicopter crew was also contacted.
At the ski area’s medical station, he was pronounced dead.
