I believe this area is considered part of the Heavenly Mountain area (which saddles California and Nevada) and is on Lake Tahoe. Ski resort, hiking, etc.

If correct location, in Feb 11, 1979, newspaper the below weather info is provided and indicates snowshowers.

Was he was hiking out in the snow alone?
No judgment; I don't see anything wrong with hiking alone but wonder about the circumstances.
Maybe there are some archived news articles regarding his case available.
