The Freeman reports that a Pennsylvania woman died today after a skiing accident on Windham Mountain:
Troopers at the Catskill barracks said Joan Sabatini, 69, of Yardley, Pa., was skiing with friends on the Wedgie Trail about 11:20 a.m. when she fell, slid off the trail and struck a tree.
Sabatini was treated by Windham’s ski patrol for extensive head injuries and then was taken by ambulance to Columbia Memorial Hospital in Hudson, where she was pronounced dead, police saiid.
It's the second fatal accident at Windham this season; last month, 18-year-old Erin Clare Malloy-McArdle was killed in an accident on a different trail at Windham.
Windham posted a brief announcement on their Facebook page recently:
