LEAD, S.D. (AP) - Officials at Terry Peak resort in western
South Dakota's Black Hills say a second person died at the resort
over the weekend.
President and General Manager Tom Marsing says a
46-year-old man collapsed in the Nevada Gulch Day Lodge early
Sunday afternoon and died on the scene.
Authorities earlier said 24-year-old Tina Heilman hit a ski lift
tower Saturday as she was skiing down a beginner's slope at the
resort and died.
Marsing says the woman was a novice skier and she wasn't wearing
a helmet.
A family friend says Heilman worked as a nurse in Sioux Falls.
She was from Orange City, Iowa, and a graduate of Dordt College, a
Christian college in Sioux Center, Iowa.
