Search Continues for Missing Snowboarder

You can't quite see Taylor Canyon from my house, but you can walk to it quite easily.
A search resumed late this afternoon for the apparent victim of an avalanche in the mountains just outside of Ogden. A snowboarder was swept away by the slide yesterday afternoon.
I've hiked up to where its easy to see the slope where this guy went missing. I can't imagine skiing down that mountain and out through the canyon mouth. It would be a very challenging back country route.

Anyway, after two days of searching, Ryan's not been found. I suspect it will be June before the snow melts enough to for his body to be located. Darn shame.
