Still no sign of missing Sugar Bowl ski instructor; Not seen since Thursday

There is still no sign of 23-year-old Carson May, the Sugar Bowl ski instructor who went missing after taking an after-work run Thursday afternoon, despite efforts by 60 searchers at the resort on Sunday.

Searchers were back on this hill at 8:00 a.m. today.

Placer County Sheriff's Office search and rescue teams have been joined by those from Douglas and El Dorado Counties, Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue, Bay Area Mountain Rescue, Marin Mountain Rescue, U.S. Forest Service, Sugar Bowl Ski Patrol, and National Ski Patrol. The teams include dogs, probe teams and avalanche specialists.

They are expecting bad weather and heavy snow, but if weather permits, two helicopters are ready to assist.

The Placer County Sheriff's Office got a "ping" off May's cell phone on Friday near an area where there was an avalanche, but no activity since then as the battery may be dead.

"Thank you to everyone assisting in this monumental effort to find Carson," the sheriff's office said.

After May skied after work on Thursday he missed a ride home with a friend. He wasn't seen on Friday morning so friends contacted authorities at 10:00 a.m. when they realized May showed up to work and his belongings were still in his locker at the resort.
