Body Of Missing Ski Instructor From Davis Is Found

NORDEN - Local search and rescue teams training Monday at Sugar Bowl Ski Resort located the body of 23-year-old ski instructor Carson May more than six weeks after he went missing.

Multiple news agencies are reporting Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue team and El Dorado County Search and Rescue dog teams training at the resort found May's body under 5 feet of snow.

According to the Sacramento Bee, dogs were taken to the area where May’s cellphone last “pinged” in January.

Sugar Bowl’s chief executive officer, Greg Dallas, told the Bee that the Davis resident likely perished in an avalanche. Dallas says the body was found on the back side of Mount Judah, about a quarter-mile from the resort’s boundaries.

May’s father, Mike May, told the paper he is glad his son was found, but the discovery did not bring relief.

“There’s no such thing as closure when you lose your son,” he said. “It’s an open wound that will stay that way.”
