Vermont state police responded to the Stowe Mountain Resort in Cambridge at approximately 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 29, where there was a report of two skiers who went off-trail, with one falling off a cliff.
Following an hours-long search, crews found the Connecticut man at the base of a cliff. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The second skier, a 35-year-old from an unidentified location in Connecticut, was found uninjured.
Police said that the two men were “avid” skiers, who were familiar with the Vermont resort.
The names of the skiers have not yet been released.
The death is not believed to be suspicious and an autopsy is pending.
