The Adirondack Daily Enterprise<\/a> reported yesterday on two men forced to spend the night in a snow cave on Dix Mountain.<\/p>\n

When darkness and heavy snow arrived, they built a snow cave and spent the night. In the morning they skied down the drainage to the South Fork of the Boquet River.<\/p>\n

The search for the men began early Sunday morning after they were reported missing at 12:30 a.m. by a friend who said the pair hadn’t returned from a skiing trip to the Dix Mountain slides.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, the New Market Press<\/a> is reporting a record number of skiers going lost this year at ski resorts in Vermont.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 31, at 1:32 p.m., the VSP Search and Rescue at Killington finally located Gustavo Oascar Iriarte, 45, of Lyndhurst, N.J.<\/p>\n

Iriarter, one of eight skiers reported missing and later found within the past week, was found in Mendon<\/a> near Brewers Corner. The skier, suffering from some exposure, was found on a snowmobile trail. He had been missing approximately 12 hours.<\/p>\n

Iriarte reported that he had suffered from cold hands and toes. He was transported to Rutland<\/a> Regional Medical Center for medical evaluation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

WCAX<\/a> is reporting that a ninth skier had to be rescued at Pico Mountain.<\/p>\n

Vermont State Police say 24-year-old Greg Zagar, of Clinton, N.Y., was skiing with a group of friends at 12:30 on\u00a0Thursday afternoon when they went out of bounds off Upper Giant Killer\u00a0and he got lost.<\/p>\n

A friend notified ski patrol that Zagar was missing at 2 p.m.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess when there’s this much powder, people just can’t help themselves, right?\u00a0 I skied into Avalanche Pass two days ago and conditions were as good as I’ve ever seen them.\u00a0 But then…I had a back trail to follow home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
