21-Year-Old Arrested for Assaulting Ski Coach

A 21-year-old man, Kaiden Bogda, was arrested following an alleged assault on a ski coach at the Steamboat Springs Ski Resort on January 4. The incident reportedly began when Bogda confronted the coach about his position near a terrain feature, escalating to a physical attack where he punched the coach multiple times in front of young athletes. The coach managed to document the encounter with a photo and video, which aided police in identifying Bogda after a week of searching. He faces several charges, including second-degree assault and reckless endangerment, under Colorado's Ski Safety Act. Authorities have described Bogda's behavior as unacceptable and dangerous in a family-friendly environment. Bogda had his first court appearance shortly after his arrest and is scheduled for further proceedings.
