especially on a powder day, but this skier absolutely took it too far causing the lift to stop in the process. Colorado snowboarder Trailer Tom (Thomas Miller), who specializes in hunting down first chairs, captured this absurd moment at Keystone Resort. According to his explanation, snowflakes had only just started to fall, so there wasn't much of a reason to rush for the chair. Yet this skier still tried to snake first chair, forcing the lifty to stop the lift.
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.
