Keystone, CO – A 24-year-old snowboarder from Tampa on Sunday became Colorado’s 14th ski-related fatality this season.

Joshua B. Allen was discovered around 11 a.m. on Sunday in the trees alongside Keystone’s Elk Run beneath the Outback Express chairlift. According to officials with the Summit County Coroner Office, Allen was pronounced dead a short time later at St. Anthony’s Summit Medical Center in Frisco as doctors were preparing to transfer him via helicopter to a hospital in Denver. Although he was wearing a helmet, Allen sustained blunt force trauma to his head and face from apparently striking a tree. He had been vacationing with friends at Keystone since Wednesday.

Allen’s death is the 14th skier or snowboarder fatality recorded in Colorado this winter season, and the fourth at Keystone within the past month. William Emberton, 72, of Stonington, Conn., was found face down in the snow alongside Keystone’s expert Geronimo run earlier this month, and Odo Lessacher, 58, of Griffin, Ga., died of blunt force trauma following an incident while skiing on Feb. 5 on Keystone’s North Peak. In late January, 54-year-old Vesslin Vlassev, of Westminster, Colo., was found by a passing skier alongside the intermediate Jacques St. James trail on Dercum Mountain. He died of a broken neck.
