Investigation Summary
On January 18, 2012, Employee #1 and #2 had just finished hooking up hoses for snowmaking equipment and were traversing the top of a moderately steep ski trail. The trail surface was hard-packed and icy. Both employees were wearing Kahtoola micro spikes on their boots. Neither of the employees was carrying a radio. Employee #1 was near the middle of the trail and he lost his footing, resulting in an uncontrolled slide of several hundred yards into a wooded area where he struck a tree. Observing that Employee #1 was seriously injured, Employee #2 descended the ski trail to a nearby ski lift where he notified the ski patrol. The ski patrol was able to respond within approximately 10 minutes of the accident. Employee #1 died from his injuries.
