During a recent trip to the Aspen slopes, the 9-year-old son of fashion designer and reality television star Rachel Zoe took a big fall from the West Buttermilk ski lift.
For the past 40 weeks, Aspen Skiing Co. workers have staffed a mobile food pantry in the midvalley. On Tuesday, they put in an extra effort to make sure people didn’t go hungry the week of Christmas.
Most food distribution efforts in the Roaring Fork Valley region were put on hold this week for the holidays. The Skico team volunteered to provide the food Tuesday; Food Bank of the Rockies provided packaged goods in boxes.
A steady stream of vehicles inched through the mobile pantry at Crown Mountain Park in El Jebel between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. About 350 households from Aspen to Parachute picked up food.
Like many celebrities in Aspen, Zoe took to the slopes with her family, including 9-year-old son Sky. Her idyllic Colorado ski day, however, took a grisly turn.

ASPEN, Colo. â Rachel Zoe says her 9-year-old son, Sky, survived a 40-foot drop from a ski lift in Colorado on Sunday.
The fashion designer and former reality TV star opened up about the scary incident on her Instagram story on Monday.
Zoe said âski patrol heroesâ saved her son by quickly putting a mat under where they thought the boy would fall. She explained that she thinks the incident could have easily been prevented if a ski operator had stopped the lift when they saw Sky wasnât on from the beginning.
