A teenage skier who went missing two days ago on Maine's Sugarloaf Mountain was found early Tuesday in "good condition," authorities said.
Nicholas Joy, a 17-year-old from Medford, Mass., was reported missing by his father at about 1 p.m. Sunday after the two became separated while skiing at Sugarloaf ski resort, said John McDonald, a public information officer with the Maine Warden Service.
Joy was found by a Massachusetts firefighter who had heard that the teen was missing and decided to search for him by snowmobile, NBC affiliate WHDH.com reported. The firefighter, who is familiar with the area, came across Joy on the Caribou Pond Road ski trail, about four miles away from the resort.
"He's in good condition," McDonald said, adding that Joy was conscious and talking. "He has been taken to the hospital just to be evaluated for possible hypothermia."
Joy was reunited with his family in the ambulance on the way to the hospital for evaluation, according to WHDH.com.
Authorities plan to release more details at a press conference later Tuesday.
