A 72-year-old skier died Tuesday in a collision with a snowboarder at the Eldora Ski Area.
The collision happened at about 11 a.m. on the “Windmill” ski run, according to the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office. Responders found the skier “unconscious and not breathing.”
Ski patrol staff carried out resuscitative measures, including CPR, and a medical helicopter was on standby, the sheriff’s office said in a news release. At 11:43 a.m., the skier, from Boulder, was pronounced dead at the scene. The Windmill is an intermediate run.
The snowboarder, a Wellington man, was interviewed by investigators after he was treated for injuries suffered in the collision, the sheriff’s office said. “No criminal charges have been filed at this time, and the investigation is ongoing.”
The identity of the Boulder man was not released Tuesday.
