FRISCO, Colo. (AP) — A snowboarder who lost control and hit a tree at Keystone Ski Resort over the weekend has died.

The Summit Daily reports 21-year-old Nathan Enright, of Libertyville, Illinois, crashed on a beginner trail Saturday and was taken off of life support at a Denver-area hospital Tuesday. Enright, who had recently moved to northern Colorado from the Chicago area for college, was not wearing a helmet.

He is the second snowboarder to die in Colorado this season. Colin Zak, a 23-year-old from North Royalton, Ohio, died after crashing into a tree at Monarch Ski Area on Saturday.
