STEVENS PASS, Wash. - King County sheriff’s deputies resumed their search for a missing snowboarder at Stevens Pass.

A King County Sheriff's spokesman said the 23-year-old Bellevue man became separated from friends and failed to meet up with them around 7 p.m. Sunday at their car.

Searchers looked for him until about 3 a.m. Monday morning. A crew of about 20-30 began their search at daylight Monday, focusing their search around the base camp area.

"We'll have snowboarders, we'll have skiers," said Deputy Rich Barton, KIng County Sheriff's Office. "We can bring up our snowmobile units, if possible, and utilize Stevens Pass personnel."

Barton said officials do not believe the skier went out of bounds and are hopeful to find him alive.

Deputies talked to the skiers' two friends who had accompanied him to the ski area. They described him as an intermediate snowboarder and said he had proper clothing to last him for a few hours.

damn! how do you get lost in bounds?

If you're in bounds can't you just head "down" and eventually reach a lift or something?

Head injury. A couple years ago, a friend suffered a major concussion in the park and got lost in bounds. He was walking and talking, but totally out of his gourd and hoped a bus from Kirkwood to South Lake (where he was arrested). Or you can fall in a tree well.

STEVENS PASS, Wash. - The snowboarder who had been missing since Sunday evening at Stevens Pass was found Monday morning, apparently safe and sound at a friend’s apartment in Issaquah.

About 20 -30 members of King County Sheriff’s search and rescue crew had spent Sunday night and early Monday looking for the 23-year-old man, who had failed to show up at a rendezvous point with his friends Sunday evening near their car.

One of the snowboarder’s friends reportedly had moved his car to put it closer to where he thought he would come out after snowboarding. When the snowboarder came off the ski slopes, he didn’t see the car where he left it and thought his friends had left without out. The snowboarder reportedly hitched a ride to a friend’s apartment in Issaquah.

When one of those friends called around Monday morning to get a picture of the missing snowboarder, one of the friends said he was sleeping on the floor of his apartment.

But the snowboarder is not out of trouble. King County Sheriff's Deputy Richard Barton said the man was then arrested for an outstanding $5,000 DUI warrant from King County.

He took a dump in a supermarket, the produce isle. The cops though he was on Special K or something, another friend had a long intense conversation with the pigs and let them know they were very wrong and need to take him to the hospital immediately (which the did).
