A search is set for a man who is buried in an Oregon Ice Tunnel, Hit the jump for details!
The missing snowboarder Collin Backowski, from Pines, Colorado was accompanied by 5 of his friends when a collapse of snow hit the crew Saturday during their travels to Oregon. His friends were able to get out of the disaster uninjured yet, he remains the only one missing beneath a tunnel of ice. Hood River Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Pete Hughes stated that the friends had tried to dig him out but the snow was becoming thicker making it hard for them to get through it. Although resuers responded quickly, they stopped their search until dawn Sunday. The man was trapped on the White River Glacier, with mass amounts of snow covering the snowboarder and equipment, “making it hard for survival”, Hughes stated. I’m hoping this tragic story has a happy ending!
