The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office says the 14-year-old girl was seriously injured after she went off-trail and collided with a tree. Search and Rescue responded with medical teams. Air Link was also dispatched, but was unable to land due to the terrain. SAR used a snow ambulance to transport her more than a mile and a half to the helicopter landing zone, and she was flown to the hospital in Bend for treatment. Her current condition is unknown.
