Skiing Community Mourns the Loss of Champion Ellery Curtis

The skiing world is in mourning after the tragic death of female skiing champion Ellery ‘Ellie’ Curtis, who passed away at the young age of 26 following an accident on the slopes over the weekend. The former NCAA All-American skier from San Francisco suffered a fatal incident at the Palisades Tahoe resort in Olympic Valley, California.

Details of the Fatal Accident

Ellie Curtis was pronounced dead at the scene at the Palisades Tahoe resort in Olympic Valley, California, after sustaining a severe head injury. Authorities from the Placer County Sheriff’s Department responded to a distress call at approximately 3:45 pm on Saturday, according to reports from the LA Times.

However, despite the prompt response, first responders found that Curtis had already died prior to their arrival at the mountain location.

A Rising Star in Skiing

Ellery Curtis, an alumna of Dartmouth College, was a celebrated figure in the skiing community. She achieved All-America Second Team honors during her senior year, a testament to her skill and dedication. This recognition followed her impressive eighth-place finish in the giant slalom at the NCAA Championships.

Early Success on the Slopes

Notably, her first significant victory in the giant slalom occurred at Middlebury in the Snow Bowl during that same year, marking a promising start to a brilliant career that has been tragically cut short.
