In December 2007 Phillip Hollins, 41, Kevin Carter, 26, and Devlin Williams, 29 went out for a two-day backcountry snowboard trip near Washington State’s Crystal Mountain. They were never seen again.
Friends had continued to search for the three men and finally found their bodies yesterday together in the tent that they were in when an avalanche apparently hit.
When the friends found the tent, they called the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, and deputies went to the scene Saturday and prepared the bodies to be airlifted out, said spokesman Ed Troyer. They were too far out in the backcountry to carry out, he said.
