A Nordic skier died at Snow Mountain Ranch after being reported missing Friday.<\/p>\n

According to a release from the Grand County Sheriff\u2019s Office, the skier was reported missing at 4:44 p.m. Friday from the YMCA of the Rockies, Snow Mountain Ranch in Granby.<\/p>\n

The individual was found at 9:30 p.m. that night and pronounced dead at the scene, the release said. The skier\u2019s name has not been released pending notification of family.<\/p>\n

Grand County Search and Rescue, YMCA staff and volunteers assisted in the search.<\/p>\n

A Facebook post from Grand County Search and Rescue described the skier as a 78-year-old Denver woman who had last been seen 3 p.m. Thursday near the Nordic Center. At the time, the weather was blizzard-like with high winds and blowing snow, the post said.<\/p>\n

The woman\u2019s family became concerned when they couldn\u2019t make contact during the day Friday and contacted the YMCA. The woman\u2019s vehicle was found in the Nordic Center parking lot and a search mission was initiated at 4:44 p.m.<\/p>\n

After several hours of searching, the post said teams found a set of windblown ski tracks leaving a hard parked area near the YMCA stables heading downhill towards the Nordic Center. The woman was found, deceased, in the deep snow near some small trees.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hearts go out to the skier and their family who have suffered a great loss,\u201d Snow Mountain Ranch General Manager Trueman Hoffmeister said in the sheriff\u2019s office release.<\/p>\n
