The 12-year-old was unconscious after he appeared to have struck a tree while skiing an intermediate trail, police said.
A 12-year-old boy died after a skiing incident at a ski resort in North Conway, New Hampshire on New Year’s Eve, officials said.
First responders arrived at Cranmore Mountain Resort in North Conway around 10:44 a.m. Tuesday to reports of the injured boy, Conway Chief of Police Christopher Mattei said in a statement on Thursday.
The 12-year-old appeared to have struck a tree while skiing the Bandit Trail, police said, which is an intermediate level trail. The boy was unconscious, and he was receiving CPR, Mattei said.
The Cranmore Mountain Ski Parol had transported the boy to the base of the mountain, where he was then transferred to MaineHealth Memorial Hospital, where he died, police said.
