A 24-year-old snowboarder who went missing at Mt. Baker on Sunday, January 21, 2018 has not been found after a full day of work by a large search and rescue team, according to a story in the Bellingham Herald.
Vitaliy Datskiy’s two friends reported him missing shortly after noon Sunday when he didn’t return to a designated meeting point near the bottom of the ski area’s Chair Three, said Whatcom County Undersheriff Jeff Parks. . . “He got separated from (his friends) and didn’t show up to meet them,” Parks said. “They believe he’s still somewhere in the ski area.” . . Duncan Howat, ski area president and general manager, said the Ski Patrol immediately began what’s called a “hasty search” of the most dangerous spots in the area where Datskiy was last seen.
