He had been camping in Brown\u2019s Park and was last seen between March 31 and April 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Fisher was first reported missing on April 4, according to the Sheriff\u2019s Office. The next day, a deputy and two Division of Wildlife Resources officers found Fisher\u2019s truck and some of his personal items at a campsite in Brown\u2019s Park. The active search then had to be suspended due to the Sheriff\u2019s Office\u2019s limited resources due to ongoing efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, according to the news release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Fisher\u2019s family and friends galvanized to conduct search efforts on their own.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\">\n<div class=\"row at-donation at-donation-mobile p-0\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/at-banner-paypal.jpg)\" class=\"col-xl-8 p-3 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/donate\/?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=donation&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=mid-article\">Donate<\/a><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">On Saturday, April 18, authorities resumed their search for Fisher with help from search and rescue groups from neighboring Uintah County in Utah and Moffat County in Colorado. On Monday, April 20, searchers found Fisher\u2019s body about 2.5 miles from his last known location, according to the Daggett County Sheriff\u2019s Office. They found a wallet with Fisher\u2019s driver\u2019s license and notified his family Monday evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cOn behalf of my office and the searchers involved in the effort to find Mr. Fisher, I extend my sincere condolences to his family and friends,\u201d said Daggett County Sheriff Erik Bailey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The body has been sent to the Utah State Medical Examiner\u2019s Office for an autopsy. There does not appear to be any evidence of foul play, according to the Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Fisher was a beloved member of the community known for delving deeply into the projects and hobbies he pursued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">A Steamboat native, Fisher competed on the U.S. Ski Team and went on to coach for the organization. He helped to train some of Steamboat\u2019s biggest sports heroes, including Johnny Spillane, Todd Lodwick and Billy Demong. Fisher eventually became the head coach of the jumping team, which he described as his dream job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In 2006, he stopped coaching for the U.S. Ski Team and returned to coach for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, a position he held in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cCorby was a tremendous coach,\u201d said his sister Natalie. \u201cHe wanted them all to be champions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Off the slopes, Fisher enjoyed riding horses, hunting and fly fishing. He tied some of his own flies, a hobby that is as much an art form as a craft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">But his proudest role, Natalie said, was being a father to two children, Keely and Zane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Fisher\u2019s family will hold a celebration of life when circumstances allow. Plans will be announced when arrangements can be made.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\"><a href=\"mailto:dmaiolo@SteamboatPilot.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dmaiolo@SteamboatPilot.com<\/a><i class=\"fas fa-external-link-alt\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/sports\/body-of-steamboat-man-renowned-ski-coach-found-in-utah\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The body of Corby Fisher, a Steamboat Springs native and longtime ski coach, was found in Utah on Monday.
