A doctor planning to ski at the ravine, who was not part of the Brown group, provided aid until New Hampshire conservation officers arrived on the scene. Brown was then taken to Hermit Lake Shelter.

Doctors at the shelter then gave the okay to move Brown down the mountain via ATV’s Fish & Game Conservation officers used to get up the mountain.

Brown was transported to Memorial Hospital in Conway, N.H. with serious but non-life threatening injuries, according to New Hampshire officials.
