After this time I am afraid it will be a recovery, but always hopeful. The time he went missing there was a forecast avalanche danger reported by the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. "As of Sunday afternoon (note from gg, this would have been the 16th) many of Colorado’s mountains were under avalanche watches, and many were also under special avalanche advisories." https://kdvr.com/news/local/snowboarder-missing-since-friday-near-vail-amid-high-avalanche-forecast/ Home | Colorado Avalanche Information Center The continued high avalanche danger is likely impacting a search.

The abundance of snow received since Gill was declared missing is suspected as the primary reason he still hasn’t been found.
