**Edit Parents have filed missing persons report. Search crews searching another location. Hope for the best for them and Paul.

Paul C. Melby is his name. He's a Crystal Mountain local and knows the area well. I wish I had some helpful information to add. Most importantly I wish I wasn't stuck in town tomorrow because I'd be up at first light searching for our bro.

what happened? any info?

Only info I have is second-hand. Melby was parked (as usual) in the B-lot near the dirt-bag ski bum trailers (near the entrance to the maintenance yard). The last anyone in the crew saw him was around lunch time. When he didn't return to the car and wasn't found either in Rafters or The Elk, the bros got worried and called patrol. I was told that they were scrambling a search party at around 7:00 p.m. tonight.

What was he wearing and type of skis etc so we can tell if we spotted him yesterday ???

Damn - sending you hopeful vibes, Mr. Melby...
