Ogden was transported off the mountain and turned over to paramedics from the Ketchum Fire Department at 10:17 a.m. Paramedics then brought him to St. Luke's Wood River Medical Center near Ketchum at about 10:30 a.m. Ogden was then transferred to St. Alphonsus by a Life Flight helicopter.

Ogden is the owner of Intermountain Construction, the general contractor for many Sun Valley Co. projects. The construction company, which is based in Idaho Falls, built the Sun Valley Pavilion, River Run Lodge, Dollar Mountain Lodge and the Sun Valley Clubhouse.
