JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) – An Ohio man who died at a Wyoming ski resort was asphyxiated, apparently after falling head-first into powdery snow in a steep ravine.
Teton County investigators and employees of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort spent Monday trying to reconstruct the accident that killed 54-year-old Marc Krantz of the Cleveland suburb of Pepper Pike.
Krantz was a managing partner with the Cleveland law firm of Kohrman Jackson & Krantz.
Deputy Dave Hodges says Krantz was on the mountain with family, but was skiing by himself on Sunday when the accident happened. Skiers found Krantz upside down “in a fairly steep ravine … in powdery snow” at about 3:10 p.m. Sunday.
Ski patrol and a doctor performed CPR. Krantz was pronounced dead at a Teton Village clinic at 3:50 p.m.
