BOZEMAN — A Montana woman died of injuries suffered in a backcountry skiing accident in the Bridger Mountains north of Bozeman, Gallatin County officials said.

The first skier completed the run, which is near Sacajawea Peak, but Lupori fell and suffered traumatic injuries.

Lupori was a native of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where she graduated from high school in 2019, the Steamboat Pilot & Today reported.
