Authorities were called to the scene by ski patrol for an airlift at 11:25 a.m., but the man was unresponsive, and lifesaving measures failed. Deirdra Walsh, the vice president of Park City Mountain Resort, confirmed in a statement that the man was an employee. “The Park City Mountain team — as well as the entire Vail Resorts team — extend our deepest sympathy and support to the family and friends of our team member,” Walsh said. “We are all deeply saddened by this tragic incident, and we will be providing support for our employees as we grieve this devastating loss.”
