Authorities have released the name of a Texas woman who fell to her death from a chairlift at a small Colorado ski resort.
Granby police identified the woman Friday as 40-year-old Kelly Huber, of San Antonio. She and her two young daughters fell about 20 feet from a lift at Ski Granby Ranch on Thursday.
The 12-year-old was treated and released from the local hospital, but her 9-year-old sister was airlifted to a hospital in suburban Denver. Her condition wasn't released.

The lift at Ski Granby Ranch remained closed Friday but the rest of the resort was open.
The fatal fall is the first in the state in over a decade.
