According to the sheriff’s office, the skier had gone off-trail and become disoriented. He then spent the night in a tree well, making a small fire and using pine boughs for warmth. Read more here
Great work to all the SAR teams for rescuing the skier. We hope he is recovering well. This is a reminder to everyone to be careful while skiing, snowboarding, etc., and to stay away from out-of-bounds areas. As always, please be safe out there!
