Colorado skier tracks down alleged hit-and-run snowboarder on social media, sues over catastrophic injuries [Video]

A snowboarder who fled after allegedly plowing into an Aspen skier and leaving her crumpled in the snow before months of physical therapy, was identified using his social media presence and distinctive gear, according to a lawsuit. 

Anne Cassidy, a mother of four and an “expert skier” familiar with Aspen Mountain, said she was chatting in plain sight on her skis with a friend beside the unloading area of the Gent’s Ridge Lift Feb. 24. Unbeknownst to them, a snowboarder offloading from a nearby gondola was careening toward them. 

Without warning, the snowboarder, who Fox News Digital has elected not to name because he is not facing criminal charges, “slammed into Ms. Cassidy, clipping her from behind,” the lawsuit states.

“Ms. Cassidy, who was in shock, felt twisting in her knees and sudden and extreme pain in her legs,” the suit, filed in Pitkin County District Court this month, states. “Ms. Cassidy’s knees crumbled like a lawn chair.”
