SANDPOINT -- A spokeswoman for the Schweitzer
Mountain Resort says a 15-year-old found unconscious near a tree
well at the ski area was pronounced dead Tuesday.
Schweitzer communications coordinator Haley Sorbel says a group
of snowboarders discovered the young skier at about 12:30 p.m. and
rescue workers tried unsuccessfully to revive him.
Authorities, as of late Tuesday, had not publicly identified the
boy or released details on the cause of his death.
The Bonner County Daily Bee reports the teen was a sophomore at
Sandpoint High School.
