They were snowboarders, and still missing after five days. This isn't looking good.

CREEDE (AP) - Rescuers searching for two snowboarders missing in the southwest Colorado mountains have found no sign of the men.

Mineral County sheriff's spokeswoman Sandy Kroll says falling snow and wind made it difficult to see and kept two helicopters grounded Wednesday.

Searchers were out on skis, snowshoes and snowmobiles.
More than four feet of snow has fallen in the area in the past week.

Michael George and Kyle Kerschen -- both from Albuquerque -- were last seen Saturday near the Wolf Creek ski resort about 170 miles southwest of Denver.

Yeah, it's not looking good at all for them. If they ended up dropping off the back side(south side) of WC, that's big time trouble.

We were down there Sunday and Monday during the big storm and talking with the S and R volunteers. There was so much snow and wind that any tracks or clues will unfortunately be long buried.

I hope it turns out well, but the conditions have been pretty bad down that way.
