FLAGSTAFF, AZ — A skier has died after crashing into a tree at Arizona Snowbowl on Monday.
Deputies with the Coconino County Sheriff's Office say a person was seriously hurt at the resort just before 11 a.m.
The skier was taken to a first aid station where ski patrol personnel attempted life-saving measures but later died from their injuries.
Deputies say the skier was "initially skiing on "Upper Ridge" run, which is labeled a 'black diamond' or 'most difficult terrain rating."
Officials believe the skier might have gone outside a boundary line and struck a tree.
The skier's name hasn't been released but officials say he is a 22-year-old man from Tempe.
The investigation remains ongoing.
