MEREDITH, N.H. (AP) — At least two people were rescued from Mount Washington in New Hampshire while details on a third person who got into trouble were not immediately clear after rescue efforts extended through a stormy night and into Sunday morning. The three people got into trouble Saturday afternoon at Tuckerman Ravine, an area popular with backcountry skiers. According to officials, two of the people suffered injuries that were not life-threatening before rescue efforts began. Colleen Mainville is a spokesperson with the U.S. Forest Service. She said conditions were icy in the ravine. The rescuers also battled through snow and winds.
