Skier Seriously Injured in Backcountry adjacent to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort

It is with regret that Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) reports a skier was seriously injured in Cody Bowl, in the Bridger-Teton backcountry located south of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.
 
At approximately 10:30 am JHMR Ski Patrol received a call reporting an injured skier at the bottom of No Shadows on the Cody Peak backcountry. The skier most likely was standing on the cornice at the top in-between Four Shadows and No Shadows when the snow gave way and the skier fell the length of the run.  Ski Patrol immediately sent responders and arrived on the scene at 10:58 am.  JH Ski Patrol called Teton County Search and Rescue (TCSAR) to assist with a helicopter evacuation and TCSAR began transport out of the backcountry at 11:26 am.  The skier was then flown out and transported to Easter Idaho Regional Medical Center for further treatment.
