EAST BOSTON - The East Boston community is mourning the loss of a 15-year-old boy who died in a skiing accident over the weekend.

Christopher DiPrima was hitting the trails at Pats Peak with his family. His relatives say he fell after hitting a bump and going airborne momentarily. Pats Peak representatives say ski patrol teams brought the boy to the bottom of the mountain. He was transported to Concord Hospital but died from his injuries. Right now, the family is unsure on the exact cause of death.

"This was a trail he's been on several times before and been able to handle," said Steven Gingras, Christopher's cousin who was at the mountain that day, but not on the trail when the accident occurred. "It was a complete accident. No one foresaw this. Even on the way to the hospital really, we couldn't have comprehended it."
