They are getting serious: Leave the scene of a skier v. skier (or boarder) collision and go to jail



Wanted Posters and Sketch Artists used in a Bear Mountain Resort Hit and Run.

Bear Mountain Resort is looking for a mail snowboarder who struck a 9-year-old female on January 2, 2010 at approximately 1:00 PM. A sketch of the alleged snowboarder is here!

The suspect is described as a white male adult, 25-30 years of age, approximately 5'10" - 6'2" tall, wearing a black and white jacket, black pants, and using a black snowboard.

Anyone having information regarding the collision or identity of the suspect is asked to contact the Big Bear Sheriff's Station at (909) 866-0100. Information can also be reported anonymously by calling WE-TIP at (800) 78-CRIME.

It is unknown if this is a new attitude about collisions on the slopes or if this is a special case. The victim received a compound fracture of her femur and several facial injuries, all of which were not life threatening.

This is a real change from how hit and run boarders and skiers were treated in the past.
