Doesn't say where he was skiing. Most of Bracket will funnel down to the road. If he went off the back ... not much but wilderness out there.

I hope he's found safe and sound. Thoughts and prayers.

Yikes. Here is an update:

Not sounding good....

I guess no sign of him after today's search. And they are looking both in and out of bounds. Scary. He did not have his cell phone. Fingers crossed, but there is not even a hint as to where he went.

Hopefully he is just at his condo or something messing around.

Yeah, I don't think so. It was their last run before leaving for Mass.

I've always looked at the Recco sensors on my boots and thought: "This is kind o wasted on the East coast." It could probably be utilized in a situation like this I would think. I really hope they find him and he has a lick of survival knowledge and a lighter.

Pray for the young man and family

Looks like they found him

Thank goodness. Glad he is ok.

I am going to see if I can catch the news conference at 10:30 to get the details.

 

[o3jeff]

Great news, interested to see where he was.

 

[snowmonster]

Amazing news! So glad for him and his family!

 

[gmcunni]

Great to hear this. Hope he is in good condition.

Wow. Good ending.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Hearing on the news he skied out of bounds and thought he could get back......built a snow cave and slept in it.

Wow. Holy shit! Great outcome! I was fearing that this was going to turn into a search and recovery mission.

I've never understood WTH the recco sensors actually did. I should google that. How would that apply in a situation like this? What'st he range on the Recco transponder?

Are you guys watching it on TV or something because all I can find online are the basics.

I have one of those sensors that came on my Marker jacket, read about it the other year but don't remember much on it.
