A skier sustained a head injury at Eldora Mountain Resort and was taken to the hospital by helicopter on Monday afternoon.
About 1:08 p.m., the Boulder County Communications center received a report that a skier had a head injury, according to Carrie Haverfield, a Boulder County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson. The skier, a 24-year-old man, was seen sliding down one of the runs and was believed to have a head injury, Haverfield said.
No one saw the man hit his head, and there was no visible trauma to the man or his helmet, she said.
The man was taken to the hospital by a Med Evac helicopter.
Eldora’s ski patrol, the Nederland Fire Protection District, American Medical Response and the sheriff’s office responded to the call.
