Woman who died in Lookout ski accident was from Silverton

Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office has released the name of the 61-year-old woman who died while skiing at Lookout Pass on Sunday. Mary Jane Bair, of Silverton, Idaho, apparently hit a tree, a news release from the sheriff’s office said. The Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office, along with family and friends of the woman, began searching for her at the ski area late Sunday night after she did not return from her ski trip. Sheriff Mitch Alexander found the woman a short distance into the timber off a run called Rainbow Ridge on the ski area’s south side. The woman was an accomplished skier and was wearing a helmet, but she likely lost control and did not leave the run intentionally, the release said.
