A 33-year-old snowboarder who was killed in an accident at Breckenridge Ski Resort has been identified as James McLean, a podiatrist from Leawood, Kansas.

Summit County Coroner Joanne Richardson says McLean died of a
fractured neck when landed on his head after going airborne at the ski area's terrain park on Sunday.

Resort spokeswoman Nicky DeFord says ski patrol members arrived to find the man near a jump in the terrain park.

Richardson says McLean was wearing a helmet.
