LINCOLN, N.H. -- A 21-year-old Hudson man has died after a snowboarding fall at Loon Mountain.

Louis Cecere died Monday at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center after more than two days on life support. Cecere was snowboarding with two friends Saturday, when he went over a jump and landed on his head.

"The board hit first, and it immediately caught the edge," said Scott Selfridge, one of his friends. "It threw him into the trail."

Cecere's family still has the helmet he was wearing Saturday. They said it was only the second time he had worn one in 10 years on the slopes. The Ceceres said they believe the death could have been prevented if the jump was built differently, saying the landing area essentially forced Cecere into a fall.

Loon Mountain said the accident is under investigation.
