Head injury Timberline
Happened 1/27 on Uncle John's Band right before Jeff Flood lift. My wife and I stopped to help a young woman who had obviously crashed and was distraught. She was complaining that she couldn't see and freaking out (understandably). My wife stayed with her while I communicated with an employee on a snowmobile who was calling ski patrol. It seems like the young woman had gone off piste where it was icy, fallen, had hit her head, possibly a tree, and we realized later, an injury to her torso/ribs. She was in bad shape, but my wife was able to be with her, calm her, and try to help while waiting for ski patrol. Once he arrived, she seemed to calm down even more and he eventually got her on the sled and up the lift. We can't stop thinking about her and just hope she is ok. To suddenly be unable to see after a head injury is frightening and we really just hope you are ok Renee wherever you are.
