Joshya Juberian, 15, of Mankato, was killed in accident on Jan. 18 at Mount Kato, according to an online fundraiser started on behalf of his family.
Juberian, 15, was a freshman at Mankato East High School “who brought joy to everyone around him,” Samantha Guinn said in a posting on the fundraiser. “He was passionate about his family (little brother, mother and Grandma). He played video games for countless hours and cherished hanging out with his friends.”
Blue Earth County Sheriff’s Capt. Paul Barta said Friday that “this is a sad situation, and our thoughts are with the family” while noting that law enforcement was not part of the initial response to the ski area.
Mount Kato general manager John Nelson confirmed Juberian’s death from the incident, but he had few other details Friday.
“We are still collecting witness statements and trying to figure out ourselves what happened,” Nelson said.
