A snowboarder in Boulder County was rescued by rescue crews after falling down Skyscraper Glacier, west of Nederland.

The 27-year-old man was going down the glacier Monday afternoon when he fell about 100 feet down the snowfield, the Boulder County Sheriff's Office said on Tuesday. He eventually landed in a bergschrund -- an ice crevasse that forms when ice separates.

The Boulder County Communications center received a call about the fall around 2:30 p.m. and rescuers from several law enforcement, fire rescue, and search and rescue agencies and organizations responded, surveying the terrain and mapping evacuation paths.

Video posted by the sheriff's office shows rescue crews hoisted on the side of the steep glacier with the snowboarder in a rescue basket.
