A skier died Saturday after a fall at Sugarbush Resort in Vermont, authorities said.
Vermont State Police in Berlin were notified at 3:26 p.m. of the incident on Stein’s Run on Sugarbush’s Lincoln Peak, according to a police statement. Investigators later determined the man fell while skiing and slid off the trail into a wooded area.
Ski patrol members found the man unresponsive and brought him to the base of the mountain, where they were met by the Mad River Valley Ambulance, police said.
The man was pronounced dead from his injuries, according to the police statement. His name is being withheld at this time pending notification of family.
