The body of a skier who went missing last month found in Mount Rainier National Park

CNN - A female skier who had been missing for a month was found dead at the base of a waterfall in Washington state’s Mount Rainier National Park, officials say. Rangers found her body Saturday.

The search for the skier had been ongoing since May 19, with groups of rangers and volunteers scouring the park for tracks, the National Park Service said in a news release.

An unresponsive person was spotted from a helicopter and rangers recovered the body using “traditional crevasse rescue methods,” the release said.

The woman appeared to have fallen roughly 200 feet to the base of Moraine Falls, above the area of Paradise, according to the release. It did not identify the woman.
