CRYSTAL MOUNTAIN, Wash. (AP) — The search has resumed for a skier missing on Crystal Mountain.
Ski area spokeswoman Tiana Enger says the man, who is an advanced skier, was reported missing by some friends at around 4 p.m. Tuesday. Teams from the ski patrol searched until 11 p.m. and then resumed Wednesday morning.
The man was last seen in an advanced area of the mountain. Enger says he was skiing alone, which is not recommended especially after the three feet of snow that has fallen over the past few days.
She says there have been no reports of avalanches within the past few days, but the man could have been trapped in a deep pocket of snow.
The man’s car remains in the ski resort parking lot.
