The woman, who has not been named, left shortly before 5 p.m. to ride her snowmobile with a friend. The pair was separated during the ride, and the friend spent hours searching for her.

It appeared that the woman went off the trail while trying to navigate a curve, after a long straightaway. The trail was soft because of the temperature, which may have impacted handling.New Hampshire Fish and Game reminded riders that trail conditions can vary as spring arrives and temperatures change.
