A scary situation occurred this weekend at Copper Mountain in Colorado. A man wearing a red jacket with “Ski Patrol” written in permanent marker followed a girl at the ski area, police said. The man impersonating a patroller followed her from a ski run last week at Copper Mountain, a ski resort about 75 miles west of Denver, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office said Jan. 27. “The unidentified adult male was wearing a red jacket with ‘Ski Patrol’ written poorly on the outside, in what appeared to be Sharpie marker,” deputies said in a news release.
The man followed the girl across the ski resort from the Center Village to the East Village, officials said. She was then able to elude him. The incident was reported to the sheriff’s office on Tuesday, Jan. 25. Deputies opened an investigation after receiving the report and are searching for the man.
Investigators are searching for any information and anyone with details is expected to call the Summit County Sheriff’s Office at (970) 453-2232.
