Two teens on spring break were killed Sunday night in a sledding accident in a closed area of Copper Mountain Ski Resort in central Colorado.
The teens reportedly were riding tandem down the halfpipe and went airborne off a large snowbank at the bottom, according to a Monday statement from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office. “The two individuals came down hard on the hard ice below, causing blunt force trauma,” officials said, adding the coroner’s office will determine the official cause of death. The boys, 17 and 18, were pronounced dead at the scene. The sledding incident happened around 8:30 p.m.
The teens were seniors at Prairie Central High School in Fairbury, Illinois, according to the school district superintendent. “Both were great students, talented athletes, and most importantly amazing people,” said Paula Crane, superintendent of Prairie Central Community Unit School District Number 8. “They were role models for all who knew them, especially our young athletes throughout the district.
