Christoper DiPrima died in the accident that happened at Pats Peak in Henniker, NH, on Saturday, March 26, Marketing Director for Pats Peak Lori said in an email to Daily Voice. 

The boy, who attended Excel Academy Charter School in East Boston, was identified by his family and school on Sunday. 

"Christopher was a 10th grader at XLHS and graduated from XLGW in 2021," Excel Academy wrote on Facebook. "Christopher was a kind and caring person who brought joy to everyone he met. He will be truly missed." 

The school adjusted their schedule and made counselors available to students on Monday as a result of Christoper's death. 

The accident happened on the resort's Duster Trails around 6:35 p.m. on Saturday, Rowell told Daily Voice. A rescue squad brought Christoper to Concord Hospital where he later died.

“Our sympathies go out to his family during this difficult time," General Manager of Pats Peak Kris Blomback said. "The staff of Pats Peak is saddened by the incident last night and the investigation is ongoing.”
