PARK CITY -- A Salt Lake City man could be the first person ever charged under a relatively new reckless skiing law in Park City.
Witnesses say the skier was flying down a beginners trail on a Park City mountain when he slid 30 feet and collided with an 11-year-old Pennsylvania girl. The crash threw the girl through the air and broke her arm.
The Park Record says other skiers yelled at the man and held him until ski patrol arrived. The girl's father wants to press charges.
If prosecutors move forward, he would be the first person charged under the city's reckless skiing law.
