Searchers Looking For Snowboarder Find Body

WINTER PARK, Colo. (AP) -- Searchers believe they have found the body of a missing snowboarder on Berthoud Pass.

The Grand County sheriff's office said the body was found Wednesday near where 26-year-old Jeffrey Miller was last seen.

Miller went snowboarding there with a friend on Monday. The friend said he saw Miller and Miller's dog behind him after a small snow slide nearby, but didn't see them a little later.

He said he went down the drainage two more times, but couldn't find Miller, who is from the Winter Park area.

The area got more fresh snow on Wednesday and the avalanche danger remained high.
