Search-and-rescue volunteers discovered the body of Rory Angelotta roughly 3 miles from the boundaries of the ski resort.
Authorities say Angelotta told friends he was going skiing before meeting them for dinner.
Over six days, more than 200 people searched for Angelotta using skis, snowmobiles and a helicopter before suspending the effort. During that period, a freak storm caused whiteout conditions, subfreezing temperatures and dumped over 7 feet of snow. The sheriff's office said because Angelotta had traveled a"considerable distance" from the resort, the area where his body was found near a residential area in the town of Truckee was not included in the initial search area.Volunteers with Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue Team Inc and Nevada County Sheriff's Search & Rescue discovered the body aided by a rescue canine around 10:42 a.m. Saturday..
"The Angelotta family is deeply touched by the overwhelming outpouring of prayers and support during this extremely difficult time and personally wants to thank everyone that accompanied in the search and assisted them during these last two weeks," the family said. The sheriff's office offered the family its condolences and said it hopes"this will provide them closure to this tragic event."
