BRECKENRIDGE — A skier died at Breckenridge Ski Resort on Thursday, becoming the ski area’s second on-mountain death in four days.
Krzysztof Kostelic, 46, was visiting Breckenridge on a ski vacation from Rolling Meadows, Ill., when he died after skiing into a tree on Northstar, an intermediate run between Peaks 7 and 8.
Summit County Coroner Regan Wood said Kostelic was wearing a helmet and may have had a medical issue that led to the accident. She has ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Kostelic’s death comes three days after a 22-year-old University of Colorado student died after skiing expert terrain on Peak 7.
