A Minnesota man died Wednesday afternoon while snowmobiling with friends on Buffalo Pass northeast of Steamboat Springs.
First responders received a call just before 1 p.m. about a snowmobile crash near Dry Lake Campground, according to Lt. Ryan Adrian with the Routt County Sheriff’s Office. At that time, the victim was unresponsive and CPR was being performed, he said.
The 32-year-old man was trying to climb a steep, near-vertical side of a hill on his snowmobile, Adrian said.

The man’s name will not be released until his family has been notified.
