Elsi Ojala, the CEO of the company managing the ski resort, expressed deep sorrow over the event and offered condolences to the victim's family. She described the situation as extremely shocking and stated that they are taking the death very seriously.

In response to the tragedy, Ojala mentioned that a debriefing session would be held for the staff members who were on duty at the time of the accident.

Officials note that the slope was closed at the time, raising further concerns about safety protocols and the management of skiing conditions at the resort.
