Aspen One confirms skier death on Aspen Mountain

A skier died on Aspen Mountain last Friday following a collision with a tree, according to a statement released by Aspen One’s communications team.

Aspen One said the skier was wearing a helmet and taken to Aspen Valley Health – Hospital and Medical Center. 

“Our deepest condolences are with the guest’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time,” Aspen One told The Aspen Times. “We are truly sorry for their loss. We’d also like to thank our highly trained Ski Patrol for their swift and professional response.”

The company declined to say who the person was, where they were from, where on the mountain they died, or what the cause of death was, saying they never release personal details about anyone who experiences a skiing fatality. 

The Pitkin County Coroner’s Office said it would not be releasing any statements until it investigates the accident and has “all the information.”
