The body of a missing backcountry skier was found buried under 13 feet of snow in the Ammonoosuc Ravine at Mount Washington Wednesday night, according to rescue officials.
The skier, whose name is being withheld until family is notified, was reported missing by his friends Tuesday night after he didn't come home and wasn't answering phone calls.
After finding the skier's car in the snow-filled Ammonoosuc Ravine parking lot Wednesday morning, rescue officials hiked up into both the Ammonoosuc Ravine drainage and the Monroe Brook, despite potential avalanche danger.
The crew spent hours scouring both drainages until they received avalanche beacon signal around 4:30 p.m. They had to dig down approximately 13 feet of packed snow and debris before ultimately discovering the body of the missing skier.
