A 26-year-old Colorado man died Saturday after climbing out of a moving gondola car and falling around 85 feet at Silver Mountain Resort, according to report from the Shoshone County Sheriff's Office.

The man, whose identity has not been released by officials, was reportedly at the Brew Fest event and in the gondola with a companion around 8:30 p.m. when he began to climb out of a small window of the moving gondola car. The man's companion repeatedly warned him to get back inside the gondola before he fell, according to the sherriff's report.

The man then fell about 85 feet onto the rock- and brush-covered hillside below. However, the exact location of his fall has not been released.

Shoshone County Sheriff's deputies and the Kellogg Police Department responded to the base of the gondola while the location of the accident was determined. Sheriff's deputies and Silver Mountain staff then made their way through the steep and rocky hillside and found the victim. Medical personnel were called in and pronounced the man dead due to extensive injuries shortly after 9:30 p.m.

The body wasn't removed from the scene, however, until sunlight Sunday because of the area's terrain, so deputies stayed at the scene through the night. Once daylight broke, deputies - with the help of Silver Mountain personnel - were able to safely recover the body.

The investigation in this incident is still ongoing and the Sheriff's report said further details would be released when more information is uncovered and the deceased's family members have been notified.

The release also said the Sherriff's Office wanted to thank the Kellogg Police Department, Idaho State Police and Silver Mountain for their assistance.
