A 61-year-old woman died at Park City Mountain Canyons Village on Tuesday after a ski accident at the resort. She was visiting from Florida.
The woman was skiing on an intermediate trail near the Dreamscape Lift when the accident occurred. Park City Mountain ski patrol then responded to a “serious incident,” according to resort officials.
The woman was evacuated from the mountain via medical helicopter. She was transported for emergency care at the University of Utah Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The Park City Fire District was staged off-site in case of difficulties with the helicopter transport, but crews were not dispatched.
“On behalf of the Park City Mountain team, we share our heartfelt condolences with the family and friends of our guest,” said Deirdra Walsh, vice president and COO of Park City Mountain.
The woman’s name has not been released.
