Aaron Easter, a 32-year-old snowboarder, was found “unresponsive” at 11:30 AM on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, at Steamboat Ski Area, near the “intersection of Buckshot and Quickdraw,” according to a story on CBS Denver 4. He was riding alone at the time.
Those who found him immediately began CPR until Ski Patrol arrived on scene. Ski patrol then continued to administer CPR while Easter, 32, was brought down the mountain to a Routt County Ambulance. . . Easter was transported to the Yampa Valley Medical Center and later flown to Denver Health Medical Center. That’s where he died.
According to a story on First Tracks Easter was found “in a depression where snow had been undermined by ground water. The hazard had been marked by the resort’s ski patrol at the time.” Investigators are still looking into the accident. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
