Skier pushes snowboarder off Colo. chairlift
By Chuck Hickey, CW-2
ASPEN, Colo. — A skier threw a snowboarder of the chairlift they were riding at Aspen Highlands on Sunday, the Aspen Times reported.
Seth Beckton of Aspen told the newspaper the skier was a white man in his late 20s or early 30s who took offense to a seemingly innocuous comment by the snowboarder as they rode the Loge Peak chairlift.
Beckton said he fell face-first 20 to 25 feet but landed in a “large pocket of snow” and was not injured.
