A snowboarder suffered injuries after falling from the Montezuma Express chairlift at Keystone Resort on Thursday, Nov. 13, according to the resort.
Sarah McClear, the communications manager for Keystone Resort, wrote in an email that a 27-year-old male snowboarder fell off the Montezuma Express chairlift Nov. 13. Keystone Ski Patrol responded to the incident, and the man was transported to the Keystone Medical Center facility, McClear wrote.
Schilling said Sheriff’s Office deputies respond to falls at ski resorts out of an “abundance of caution,” but once they confirm the situation is not life-threatening, the responsibility for investigating the incident passes on to the Colorado Passenger Tramway Safety Board.
Lee Rasizer, a public information officer for the Colorado Passenger Tramway Safety Board, wrote in an email that the fall occurred on the Montezuma Express chairlift. Rasizer wrote that the resort’s investigation is ongoing, and the board is awaiting more information. Read the full story at our partner, Summit Daily.
