A Florida man is facing an assault charge after allegedly striking a man in the face with a ski pole at Keystone Resort earlier this month.
Guido Diaz, 42, was arrested on a charge of second-degree assault after a violent confrontation on the ski slopes left another man with broken teeth and cuts on his face, according to an arrest affidavit.
On April 2, deputies with the Summit County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to Keystone to respond to a fight. The deputies spoke at the Keystone Medical Center with the individuals, who gave conflicting reports of the incident.
The alleged victim in the case said he was snowboarding down the Frenchman run through a blind curve and over a peak. He told deputies he saw Diaz and two children standing below the peak and was able to make a quick turn to narrowly avoid hitting one of Diaz’s daughters. He called the incident a “close call,” though he said nobody was knocked over, and said he turned around to say he was sorry.
