    Tough couple days around here.  On Tuesday evening I saw Stowe Mountain Rescue running code up the road at 8:30pm and that's never a good sign.  A guy in his 20s failed to meet his family for dinner and no one could get in touch with him.  They pinged his cell phone and it came back to an area on Mansfield known as the Rock Garden, a relatively popular backcountry run down the Wall that exits onto Upper Perry Merrill... but is known to have a lot of large holes, spruce traps and undermined snow throughout the boulder field.

    They had a Guard helicopter up there relatively quickly spotlighting the area, found him prior to midnight but went back in the daylight to recover him.

    Here's the Stowe Mountain Rescue post and their photos from Facebook: 

    Last night Stowe Mountain Rescue was involved in the search and recovery of a young man who died in a tragic skiing accident in backcountry terrain, accessed from Stowe Mountain Resort. As skiers ourselves, we understand the draw to explore the backcountry and we’re devastated at the senseless loss of such a beautiful, adventurous young life.

    Could see the blackhawk searching the area with the spotlight on the webcam.

    How did he die? Just curious from an educational point of view.
