SANDPOINT, Idaho — 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.
