Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe’s young son Skyler is recovering after falling 40 feet from a ski lift in Colorado.
Zoe, husband Rodger Berman, and sons Sykler, 9, and Kaius, 7, were on the first day of their winter vacation when the accident happened. Zoe posted a photo of Skyler in a hospital bed Monday, calling her son “the bravest boy I’ve ever known,” but admitted that she and her husband are “crushed and numb”.
“Sky fell 12 meters from the life of a chair yesterday, which could have easily been avoided if the operator had stopped the elevator when he saw that Sky was not on from the start and @rbermanus shouted to stop the elevator,” said Zoe , 52, her Instagram followers.
She said by a miracle – and the ski patrol that put a mat under the spot where Sky fell – that her son survived.
She added, “Sky is cheerful but painful and pounded a little bit differently a brave champion. Mum and dad are marked for life. “
Zoe – whose coterie of clients and famous friends are Kate Hudson and Cameron Diaz – later posted a video of Sky walking around saying, “I’m just a little bit in pain, I’m in a little bit of pain, but I’m fine.”
She wrote: “@rbermanus and I have never been more grateful for seeing your child so the simplest tasks of walking, talking and laughing … the truth is told that Sky was braver than both of us and we just stay kiss, bend and just stare at him until further notice … hug your babies extra from us today. “
