SNOQUALMIE PASS, Wash. (AP) — Warming temperatures will create a high risk of avalanches for searchers in Washington state who are looking for a backcountry skier in the Red Mountain area near Snoqualmie Pass.
KIRO-TV reports the higher temperatures Thursday could weaken slopes.
The King County sheriff’s office says the missing Seattle woman apparently went skiing alone on Wednesday. Another skier found her backpack and glove, and her car was left in a ski parking area near Interstate 90.
