2 skiers are killed in separate crashes at Beaver Mountain and The Canyons
A 16-year-old Logan girl died after running into a tree Saturday at Beaver Mountain, said Cache County Sheriff's Lt. Chad Jensen.
"She and her friends were coming down the mountain at a pretty high rate of speed," he said. "She looked back to speak to a friend and hit a tree."
The teen was wearing a helmet, Jensen said. The accident happened around 12:30 p.m. and two physicians and two paramedics worked on the girl for 40 minutes before pronouncing her dead.
"It's just a terrible accident," Jensen said.

The accident happened around 11:30 a.m., said Summit County sheriff's deputy Jim Shupe.
Deputies have not released the name of either victim, pending the notification of family members.
