Did an unusual storm cause fatal Park City chairlift accident?

As the investigation continues, friends remember the late ski patroller’s “quiet strength.”

(Karsten Delap) Park City ski patroller Christian Helger, 29, was killed Monday on The Canyons side of Park City Mountain Resort when he fell off his chair on the chairlift after a tree hit the cable. Helger, pictured here on a ski trip at Mount Rainier, was remembered by friends as an avid outdoorsman with a "quiet strength."
