The teens have been identified as Dylan Bazzell and Drew Fehr. According to the Summit County Sheriff's Office, they could not be revived despite immediate medical attention and were pronounced deceased. They came down hard on the ice below which caused blunt-force trauma. The Summit County Coroner has yet to release their names from the death investigation. The boy's school district has released the names of the two young men involved, asking for people to keep their families in their prayers. This was also after the resort had closed their areas. The teens were riding a single plastic sled, which is not allowed on Copper Mountain runs. ![]() ![]() The two teenagers, a 17- and 18-year-old from Prairie Central High School in Illinois, were on a spring break vacation when they rode tandem down the halfpipe and launched off a large snowbank at the bottom of the halfpipe. An image of the halfpipe at Copper Mountain Deputies with the Summit County Sheriff's Office rushed to the ski area about 8:35 p.m. The transportation around the resort was great, never waited longer than 5 mins for a bus. What Copper Mountain has to offer is the closeness and proximity of the resort lifts, restaurant, and shops right next to or below your residence. Two teenagers were killed on Sunday night in a sledding accident at Copper Mountain ski resort in Colorado. Copper Mountain is comparable to Park City and Steamboat of which I have visited before.
