There they found the body of a 70-year-old Townsend man who worked at the site. His name was not made public.
Sources tell 7News that the man was working on a piece snow grooming machine, when the machine ran over him.
The ski area’s general manager, Al Fletcher Jr., said in a statement that everyone who works at Nashoba valley is “terribly shaken” and said the man was “treasured” by both his family and staff.
No additional information was released by officials.
