SANTA FE – Authorities and a friend identified a Ski Santa Fe employee who died after hitting a tree while skiing during his free time over the weekend as a 22-year-old from Phoenix.
Bryan Garcia moved to New Mexico and was working in equipment rentals at the ski basin, Sloan Simpson told the Santa Fe New Mexican.
Simpson is the sister of Garcia’s roommate, Evan Simpson, who created a GoFundMe page to benefit Garcia’s family, the newspaper said.
Santa Fe County sheriff’s deputies were called to the ski basin about 2 p.m. Saturday, and authorities said Garcia was pronounced dead at the scene.
