All teams once again responded to the Mt. Rose Ski Resort to continue the search for the missing skier from the previous day. Avalanche mitigation had been performed the previous day, as well as Sunday morning to reduce the risk to searchers. Dog teams were sent in initially to check the area prior to the arrival of foot teams. Areas of interest from the dog teams were searched, with particular interest in an area where dog teams had alerted on both days. A probe line team member detected an object in about eight feet of snow, and after digging, the subject was located, deceased.
