Snowboarder dies after buried in snow on Park City Mountain run

The sheriff’s office has not identified the snowboarder, but said he was from out of state.

A snowboarder has died after being found buried in snow on a Park City Mountain run on Wednesday.

The Summit County Sheriff’s Office said it responded to a report before 11 a.m. of an injured snowboarder. When they arrived near the Alley run at Canyons Village, they found the 55-year-old man buried in snow.

Ski patrollers and a family member dug the man out of the snow before he was transported to an on-site medical facility where he later died after receiving life-saving care.
