Here's a copy of the picture with the names on the photo .

Here's a KIRO-TV story that apparently ran Saturday night. They handled it pretty well I think, including an interview with Paul Baugher. There is a video link with file footage of the December search and still photos of the snowboarders:

I just want to send you and the entire group the biggest thank you I can offer. This last weekend a group of 11 members of your group joined my brother in the search of his best friend's body. Phil Hollins was one of the snowboarders that died in an avalanche this last December. With all your help they were able to find his body and the bodies of his two friends that were with him. I cannot thank you enough for all the closure you have helped hundreds of people feel. But mostly I want to thank you for helping my brother.. He went up to the mountain and joined the search and rescue teams that were looking for the three of them and I know it broke his heart to come off the mountain without his best friend of over 20 years. Well now you have helped him to find his friend which means more than you will ever know. Thank you so very much.

Couldn't agree more and I would like everybody to know that Charles contacted me privatley prior to the search and asked if he should create a special pop-up on this site reminding evrybody of the search and encouraging participation. After some thought I declined his offer as I was worried that too many people might show up and the situation become unmanageable.
That was my judgement call and I'll live with it but Charles was extremely gracious and supportive.
Thanks Charles!
