A 10 -year-old girl has died in a Calgary hospital after she struck a pole at the Castle Ski Resort
while on a school trip, Pincher Creek RCMP said Wednesday.
The name of the girl, who attended Canyon Elementary School in Pincher Creek, will not be
released.
RCMP said they responded to the ski resort at approximately 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, to reports of a
10 -year-old suffering from serious head injuries.
The girl reportedly lost control while skiing on the planned school trip, RCMP said, and added
she was wearing a helmet at the time.
Staff from the ski resort provided aid until Pincher Creek Emergency Services arrived on scene,
when the decision was made to transport the girl to the Alberta Children's Hospital via ground
ambulance due to poor weather conditions.
RCMP said they were advised she had died just before 10 p.m., and are assisting the medical
examiner in investigating the death.
