KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Fraiser Winter Park Police Department says a 20-year-old Kansas man died earlier this week in a skiing incident at Winter Park Resort.
According to a press release, the man, who was wearing a helmet, was skiing around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday when he struck a tree on Lupin, an intermediate to advanced trail at the resort.

The man was transported to the Denver Health Winter Park Medical Center at the base of the resort where doctors pronounced him deceased.
On Friday, the Grand County, Colorado, Coronor’s Office identified the victim as Andrew McDonald of Shawnee, Kansas.
