The Carnegie Hero Fund is honoring a Golden man for saving the life of a skier who almost died after he became stuck hanging from a ski lift at Arapahoe Basin ski area in 2017.
The commission awards the Carnegie Medal to civilians who risk serious injury or death to save others. This quarter, they have named 16 people, including Mickey Wilson, a 28-year-old ski instructor and professional slackliner.
“And this guy is a really advanced skier, you know, he knows what he’s doing," Wilson said in 2017."It was just bad luck in a lot of ways. And by the time we got there, it had been probably a minute since he had been entangled. He was already unconscious and had stopped battling to be free. He was hanging lifelessly.
“And I collapse in the chair realizing there’s nothing more I can do," Wilson remembered."And literally the first thing I thought to myself — it sounds weird — but I said, 'Thank God I’m a slackliner and I was able to apply my slackline balance skills to this crazy situation.'"
