BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — A Seattle back-country expert skier was found alive in a remote area of the Mount Baker wilderness by members of a rescue team who happened to be training nearby.
The Bellingham Herald reports 46-year-old Dave Drulard had been missing for 21 hours when he was found Sunday by two members of a Bellingham Mountain Rescue Council search and rescue team.
Mt. Baker Ski Area president Duncan Howatt says employees searched for Drulard until about 8:30 p.m. Saturday, using people on skis, snowmobiles and snow tractors.
Three people are still missing after they disappeared this season in the same general location near Heather Meadows.
