Authorities say crews were searching Monday for 24-year-old Bellingham resident Vitaliy Datskiy who was last seen going under a rope line at Mt. Baker Ski Area.

Friends reported him missing Sunday afternoon when he failed to return to a designated meeting point near a chairlift.

More than 50 inches of snow fell in the area since Friday and snow continued Monday. The Northwest Avalanche Center rated avalanche danger high in the North Cascades.

Datskiy is the third snowboarder to disappear this winter season.
