JACKSON (WNE) — A skier died Saturday after a fall Friday at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, officials said.

Kenneth Sait, 82, apparently fell Friday on the Sun Dog ski run, said Teton County Deputy Coroner Russ Nelson.

No other individuals were involved in the incident, the release said.

After being found unconscious at around 9:13 a.m., the man was taken by Jackson Hole Ski Patrol to St. John’s Health’s Urgent Care at Teton Village at 9:30 a.m., resort officials said in a release. He was later transported to St. John’s Health in Jackson, where he died at 7 a.m. Saturday, Nelson said.

The cause of death and Sait’s town of residence is still pending, Nelson said Sunday.

This is the first death at the resort this year following three skier deaths in 2024.
