Chairlift fall at Keystone Resort results in no life-threatening injuries, according to Sheriff’s Office
Summit County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a call about a chairlift fall at Keystone Resort around 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 13, according to Lt. Mike Schilling.
Schilling was unable to say how many people were involved in the incident, but he said there were no injuries suspected to be life-threatening.
Schilling said Sheriff’s Office deputies respond to falls at ski resorts out of an “abundance of caution,” but once they confirm the situation is not life-threatening, the responsibility for investigating the incident passes on to the Colorado Passenger Tramway Safety Board.
Summit Daily News has reached out to Keystone Resort and the Colorado Passenger Tramway Safety Board for further details, including the lift on which the accident occurred and the extent of the injuries.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
