Christina Porter '06 entered a deep coma Tuesday after sustaining serious injuries that afternoon at the Dartmouth Skiway.
As of late Tuesday evening, Porter, a glee club member from Brooklyn, N.Y., remained in Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center's intensive care unit, where she was kept on a breathing tube.
Doctors predict that Porter will remain in a coma for at least one week, sources told The Dartmouth.
Rushed from the Skiway to DHMC, Porter underwent several surgeries Tuesday evening. Doctors removed a piece of her skull to alleviate swelling.
Porter was taking skiing lessons at the Skiway Tuesday afternoon, according to sources.
The nature of the accident was unknown at press time.
