FRANCONIA — A complex rescue helped get an injured snowboarder to medical help Monday.
Shortly before 4:30 p.m. on March 30, NH Fish and Game Conservation Officers were notified of an injured snowboarder out of bounds at Cannon Mountain Ski Area. The snowboarder, identified as Ethan Haust, 36, of Ashland, had been snowboarding at Cannon Mountain with a group of his friends when they decided to finish the day in a zone, which is not patrolled or maintained, outside of the ski area facilities. While navigating through a steep, rocky section, Haust caught his edge and collided with a tree, resulting in a serious injury. Unable to evacuate or move through the very steep terrain with the severity of the injury, the group made a phone call to Ski Patrol for help. Due to the location of the injured party and because the ski area closed at 4 p.m., a call to NH Fish and Game was placed while two available ski patrollers responded to the location and rendered medical aid.
