Damn, I think all of this snow is making people go a little to far off the trail

wow that is bad news. With these temps and windchills that does not bode well for that guy. Never ride alone off trail people.

Hope they find him and he is ok

He was at the Wobbly Barn tipping a few...avoiding the lift lines at Killy.
