At around 3 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 2, Stu Press and his girlfriend, Jenny Elma, were skiing down Haywood, a blue run at Keystone Resort leading to the base of the mountain. The two were roughly 50 feet from finishing their last run of the day, Press said, when he saw two snowboarders speed past him and heard more coming.

He looked back at Elma, just in time to see another snowboarder launch off a bump and slam into her, sending both tumbling down the run. The rider, who Press said was uninjured, stuck around only briefly before turning his board downhill and speeding away.

“He totally shattered her leg and then rode off,” Press said. “She was laying on the ground screaming and I said, ‘You need to stick around.’ Then while I was down there tending to Jenny he just kind of scooted away and then he was gone.”
