The bodies of Michael George, 27, and Kyle Kerschen, 27, two missing Albuquerque, N.M. snowboarders who vanished at Colorado’s Wolf Creek Resort on January 5, 2008 were found after six months of searching Monday, June 23, 2008.
The two men were found approximately 500 yards apart in a natural bowl outside ski area boundaries. Kerschen was in a clearing where most of the winter snow had melted away and George was found uphill, leaning against a tree in a wooded area where there was still some snow on the ground. . . . Downing said both bodies were intact and in a condition to be expected after being covered with heavy snow that had begun melting.
The men apparently died of “hypothermia due to exposure.” Our thoughts are with the families and friends of the two men.
