(The association does not release details about the deaths.) The National Ski Areas Association reported 42 fatalities in 2019-20, which is slightly above the 10-year national average of 39 deaths a year. The 2018-19 ski season set a record, with around 13.8 million visits logged at all the stateвЂ™s resorts. вЂњWe do not release more than the total number of fatalities that have occurred at our members across the state,вЂќ said Chris Linsmayer, public affairs director for Colorado Ski Country, noting five deaths at the associationвЂ™s member resorts this season.Д¬olorado Ski Country did not release skier visits from the 2019-20 season, which was cut short by the pandemic. The 22 ski areas that belong to the Colorado Ski Country report fatalities to the trade group, which shares information upon request. Six county coroners - in Boulder, Clear Creek, Eagle, Garfield, Pitkin and Summit counties - did handle deaths involving skiers and snowboarders at local ski areas.

(None of the 37 states with ski areas require resorts to report annual deaths or injuries.)Д¬oroners or law enforcement in Chaffee (Monarch), Grand (Winter Park, Granby Ranch), Gunnison (Crested Butte Mountain Resort), La Plata (Purgatory, Hesperus), Lake (Ski Cooper), Mesa (Powderhorn), Mineral (Wolf Creek), Routt (Steamboat), San Juan (Silverton Mountain, Kendall Mountain) and San Miguel (Telluride) counties reported no fatalities at their local ski areas. Sometimes local coroners will release identities and causes of death for skiers at resorts. The Colorado Sun surveyed 16 county coroners, asking about skier and snowboarder fatalities at area resorts.
