A 20-year-old skier from Kansas died after hitting a tree at Winter Park Resort Tuesday morning, the Fraser Winter Park Police Department said.
He was wearing a helmet, according to police.
Around 10:52 a.m. Tuesday, Winter Park Ski Patrol got a call about a man that hit a tree on an intermediate/advanced trail at the resort called "Lupin." Other skiers nearby started CPR until ski patrol arrived and took over. Ski patrol took the 20-year-old to Denver Health Winter Park Medical Center at the base of the resort. There, he was pronounced dead.
