No, just located his car there.

Yeah, I was just about to fix that. Looks like they found his car was left afterhours and tracked it to him and determined that he was still up on the mountain.

I expect more tragedies this weekend. People are just too hungry for snow.

Sadly this may wind up being the worst avalanche period / conditions in American history.

Oh come the fuck on. Worst avalanche conditions of all time is pure hubris, you just haven't been around avalanches for more than 2 years and haven't seen it before. Armchair qbing a situation where you haven't even read the avi report (which by the way was not at the highest rating on the scale, which you would know if you read it) is amateur hour, notably when you are shitting on the deceased.

If you knew what you were talking about, you'd know not to talk about it in this instance, but that hasn't ever stopped you before.
