The 24-year-old skier had an accident on Saturday afternoon in the Parsenn ski area near Klosters GR on the descent towards the Schiferbahn, in the area of the Kreuzweglift valley station. After a collision with another skier, the force of the impact caused him to collide with a padded information board, where he remained unconscious.
Despite rapid rescue measures by the Parsenn piste rescue service and a Rega team, the young German skier succumbed to his serious injuries on the spot. The second skier involved in the accident was slightly injured, according to the Graubünden cantonal police.
A 55-year-old man died on Saturday after a skiing accident in the Tschiertschen GR area on Friday. The accident occurred at around 3.30 pm. The man, who was skiing with his son, fell on the Fups 1b piste in the Foppa and Eisfeld area. According to a further statement from the Graubünden cantonal police, the winter sports enthusiast made his own way to his vacation home, where he died the following day.
The Graubünden public prosecutor's office is investigating both accidents.
