Tragedy on the Slopes: Eric M. Page Found Dead After Ski Accident Near Black Mountain Trail
A devastating loss has shaken the small community of Bartlett, New Hampshire, as the life of Eric M. Page came to a tragic end on the snow-covered slopes he likely knew well. Eric, an experienced skier and familiar face in the area, was reported missing after failing to return from a run along the Upper Maple Slalom trail—an established path on Black Mountain known to many in the local skiing community.
What exactly caused Eric to veer off course remains unclear. Search efforts were quickly launched after his absence was noticed, and not long after, emergency teams discovered him lying motionless in the snow just beyond the trail’s edge. He had sustained severe injuries—too grave to survive. Despite the best efforts of ski patrol and medical responders, it was too late. Time had slipped past, and with it, the chance to save him.
Eric’s untimely death has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew him. In a town where winter sports are a part of everyday life, this incident is a chilling reminder of how swiftly joy can turn to heartbreak. He wasn’t just a name in a report—he was a son, a friend, a community member. And now, Bartlett mourns the loss of one of its own.
Investigators are continuing to look into the circumstances surrounding the fall, including whether trail conditions or visibility played a role in the accident. No foul play is suspected at this time.
To Eric’s family and loved ones, we extend our sincerest condolences. May you find comfort in memories, in one another, and in the love that surrounds you during this time of immense sorrow.
