The missing man was last seen how he wore an orange ski suit with blue accents in the upper portion and a gray helmet. He drove with a Salomon Snowboard.

The drivers who were on Loveland Pass for hours

Until Sunday afternoon, many of the mountains of Colorados stood under Avalanche watches, and many were also under special Avalanche advice. The Colorado Avalanche Information Center reported that strong snow and strong winds have dramatically changed the avalanche conditions.

“These avalanches can remain limited to the snow snow or step on the floor, as we recently seen near the Cameron Pass,” said the CAIC on Sunday.

The agency said that Backcountry’s discoverers will probably find more than eight inches of new or wind -thin snow, and cracking and breaking up in the new snow will show the instability of slope.
