KILLINGTON, Vt. - Three Massachusetts teenagers had to be led out of the woods after skiing out of bounds in Killington Ski Area on Sunday afternoon.

None of the boys were injured and did not need medical attention, Vermont State Police said.

The boys, Troy Langton, 14, Jack McCordic, 15 and Justin Cook, 15, all from Medfield, called 911 at around 12:30 saying they were lost after skiing out of bounds off a trail.

The Vermont State Police and the Killington Ski Patrol were able to talk to the teenagers on their phones. Using cellular coordinates the ski patrol was able to spot where the boys were and verbally guide them through the back country and to the Bucklin Trail, Police said.
