Snowboarder Dies After Hood Meadows Injury

by The Editors on April 25, 2010

A 19-year-old snowboarder died Saturday, April 24, 2009 from injuries he sustained while reportedly attempting and inverted air in the Park Place terrain park, according to a story on Fox 12.

Deputies released very few details about the incident, but they said the snowboarder was wearing a helmet. . . Ski patrol crews from Mount Hood Meadows responded to the terrain park and an ambulance soon took the man to Hood River Providence Medical Center. From there, an ambulance took him to a Portland-area hospital, but he died while en route, deputies said.

Our thoughts are with the snowboarder’s family and friends.
