STEAMBOAT SPRINGS (AP) - A 22-year-old man died Friday after snowboarding on an intermediate trail at the Steamboat ski area, resort officials said.

Ski patrol members went to the scene around 2:30 p.m. and began CPR on the man, resort spokesman Michael Lane said. The snowboarder was taken to an ambulance, but the man was pronounced dead before he could be taken to a hospital, Lane said.
The man, whose name wasn't released, was with friends and was wearing a helmet, Lane said.
