This is pretty unusual. I was actually up there with family today, and heard nothing of the missing skier until we got home.
The quote I read was: "He either impacted the tree or slid backyards into the tree well," Cohee told KMJ News, "and perhaps was suffocated by the snow."
It appears he was found when a skier noticed his snowboard sticking out of the snow by a tree.
Amazing.
