"The snowboarder was seriously injured late Monday afternoon after he caught an edge and struck a tree while navigating through a steep, rocky section out of bounds at Cannon Mountain in New Hampshire."
"The 36-year-old Ashland, New Hampshire, man had been at the ski area with friends when they decided to finish the day in a zone, which is not patrolled or maintained, outside of the ski area facilities."
"Due to the technical mountain terrain and the conditions that [the man] was in, ropes were required to safely extricate and transport the snowboarder back to the base of the mountain."
