BENZIE COUNTY, MI -- A Traverse City man died Friday in a skiing accident at Crystal Mountain Resort, according to news reports out of Northern Michigan.

The 58-year-old man lost control midway down a course and struck the padded area of a snowgun tower, according to UpNorthLive.com. The accident occurred on an intermediate level trail.

Rescuers were not able to revive the man, whose identity was not released Friday. 9&10 News reported he was wearing a helmet.

Brian Lawson, spokesman for the Thompsonville area resort, said the victim was a "familiar face" at Crystal Mountain and expressed condolences to the man's relatives and friends, UpNorthLive reported.

The death comes after an accident at Crystal Mountain last March that claimed the life of a 40-year-old Ludington man. The skier lost control on an intermediate trail and struck a tree.
