A 17-year-old boy was skiing at the Mission Ridge ski area when he lost control and veered off of the ski run. This sent him down an embankment and into a few trees, where he lay until ski patrol took him to the first aid station, before sending him to Central Washington Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
