Skier missing near Artist Point.

Heard about this yesterday afternoon, but thought I'd wait until it was official... kgmi.com/Search-Continues-for-Skier-Miss...-Mount-Baker/5685328

Do you have any additional details on where/when, etc, Toby?

No, Marcus, I don't. My buddy was taking his sled in to get repaired and the mechanic, a SAR responder, got the call. The times of day are in the news report and I am guessing by the description they were near the summer road route, or off to one side or the other (Swift or Bagley Basins).

Thanks Toby. I know some of the SAR folks searching today -- hopefully they've got good info and get a good result, but it's a nasty day to be out there, from the sound of it.

Slightly more detailed information:

Here's hoping the search has a happy resolution!

No happy resolution. Body was found 60-80 yards beyond the backcountry gate off Austin Pass. Apparently he fell off that little cornice that builds up above the switchback in the highway right where the typical bootpack leaves the road. Sad.
