A teen was snowboarding at Woodward when he went off a jump near the base and crashed, knocking himself unconscious. It happened around 5:30 p.m. Monday.
Ski patrol responded and delivered the teen to Park City EMS crews who took him to the University of Utah hospital in an ambulance. Woodward spokesperson Meisha Ross said a medical helicopter was called out of an abundance of caution, but wasn't needed.
Park City Fire Marshall Mike Owens said the snowboarder was wearing a helmet when he was injured.
“Snowboarding is a fun sport… just be sure to ride within your ability and stay safe,” Owens said. “Make sure you have a spotter when you’re going off the jumps. We’re glad he’s not more seriously injured.”
Ross said the Woodward team wishes him a speedy recovery.
