Authorities now plan to charge him with felony assault. Dangerous jump injures woman at Copper Canyon JACK QUEEN Summit Daily COPPER CANYON, Colo. -- A bit of mayhem is always expected at Copper Mountain Resort’s annual Slopesoakers pond-skimming event, but no one was prepared for one skier’s disastrous attempt to jump a crowd of spectators Saturday afternoon, April 14. Hayden Wright, 26, was descending a run shortly after noon when he launched into the crowd, breaking a woman’s collarbone and lightly injuring several others. Authorities now say they expect to charge him with felony assault. “It was not even close,” said Chris Logan, who was standing in the crowd and hit the deck as Wright flew toward him. “You’d have to be Red Gerard and not drinking to clear that.” The crash was a grim shock in the midst of an event known for its zaniness, featuring skiers and riders in absurd costumes trying to skim across a water pond — often unsuccessfully. “You expect pretty much everything — there are people going down runs in their underwear,” Logan said. “But you don’t expect someone to go flying into the air and land on people in the crowd.” Logan said Wright approached him before the accident, Bloody Mary in hand, and told him that he was going to jump the crowd. Logan and a woman who also heard him were struck by the absurdity of the idea. “We looked at each other and said, ‘There’s no way he’s ac- Continued from B-1 Sports briefs U.S. MASTERS SWIMMING WORKOUT Basin Recreation Fieldhouse has added U.S. Masters Practices to its programming on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 12-1 p.m. for swimmers and future swimmers age 18 and up. A coach will prepare workouts and provide feedback and instruction. The class is geared toward a broad range of skill levels, from those seeking to stay fit to competitive training. “Don’t let your perceived ability, or lack thereof, hold you back,” a press release stated. Email questions to Sydney Bull at sydney@ basinrecreation.org SWIM COACHES AND INSTRUCTORS WANTED The Basin Recreation Fieldhouse is looking for experienced and knowledgeable individuals who are interested in teaching Youth Swim Lessons and coaching our Adult Swim Clinics and Masters practices. Applicants must be 16 years of age or older and must have current CPR, AED and First Aid certifications as well as strong swimming skills and knowledge of the sport. Inquire with Aquatics Coordinator Sydney Bull at sydney@basinrecreation.org or call her office 435655-0999 x16 tually going to try that sort of thing, right?’” Logan recalled, reached by phone Monday. After the encounter, Logan went to the sidelines to join the crowd, which was about a half-dozen people deep. As Wright descended, Logan realized he had meant what he’d said. “I just hit the deck,” Logan said. “When I got up everyone was all shaken. There were three to four people on the ground hurt. It was like a car wreck. Everyone was shocked.” In a statement, Copper Mountain said resort staff took statements from multiple participants and spectators after the incident and was cooperating with the sheriff’s office investigation. “Guest safety is a top priority at Copper Mountain and the resort does not condone reckless or out of control skiing/ riding,” the statement said. Ski patrollers rushed to the scene and started treating people, but no one called 911, Summit County Sheriff Jaime FitzSimons said. Complicating matters, the crash was reported over dispatch as a reckless driving incident, and it took lower priority than a simultaneous suicide threat in the area. When deputies arrived on scene roughly an hour-and-ahalf later, they found Wright at a ski patrol building, where several witnesses had filled out statements. They cited Wright for misdemeanor assault, not yet knowing that a woman had been seriously injured. FitzSimons said that deputies were re-interviewing victims and witnesses in light of the new information on Monday. Wright is fully cooperating with the investigation, he said. “We feel confident that the charge should be increased to a felony, so we’ll submit our report to the District Attorney’s Office and ask for their support,” FitzSimons said. The crash caused a roughly 15-minute delay in Saturday’s festivities. It also put a damper on the event’s traditional “Best Crash” award. “We understand that, uh, ‘Best Crash’ could be approached in many different ways here today,” an announcer said Saturday. “Fortunately, everybody has walked out with heads held high.” All of the victims walked away on their own power, but one woman was later found to have a broken collarbone. Under Colorado law, assaults are typically elevated to felonies when a victim suffers a serious bodily injury. “If you look at the weight of skis and their razor-sharp edges, they can be like weapons,” FitzSimons said. The woman with the broken collarbone was getting multiple x-rays and MRIs on Saturday, her boyfriend said in an email. (He did not respond to a follow-up message). In addition to criminal penalties, Wright could also face civil damages from victims. Wright posed for a photo before the crash holding a Bloody Mary. While they know he was drinking, investigators don’t have a precise measure of how intoxicated he might have been. “We have witnesses saying he was drinking a Bloody Mary before his run, but nobody’s saying he was drinking a pitcher or anything,” FitzSimons said. FitzSimons noted that the investigation remained open on Monday and encouraged witnesses to contact the sheriff’s office at (970) 423-8913 with any information.
