The resort?s ski patrol evacuated Spencer to a clinic on site, where he could not be revived, according to the Mineral County coroner?s office. He was reportedly not wearing a helmet.
Saturday?s incident marked the 17th ski and snowboard fatality in Colorado but the first in-bounds death at Wolf Creek this winter. An autopsy to determine the cause of death is planned for today.
