ASPEN, CO—Citizens of this small mountain community remained in a state of shock Wednesday as law enforcement officials continued their frantic, all-hours search for a ski that went missing last weekend.
According to sources, the sense of desperation is mounting as the search for the 2-year-old ski, last seen in the vicinity of the Gent's Ridge chairlift, enters its third day."We're doing everything we can to ensure the safe return of the ski, but as of now, we have very, very little to go on," said Pitkin County sheriff Joe DiSalvo, confirming the missing equipment is one half of a pair of Rossignol S80s belonging to a part-time Aspen resident.
Search and rescue teams—including police officers, tracking dogs, and at least nine helicopters, as well as dozens of firefighters, EMS personnel, and volunteers—continued to scan the perimeter of Aspen Mountain today, combing snowbanks for chemical traces of the ski, digging out massive drifts where it could have accidentally fallen, and questioning people who may have spotted it from a passing gondola or mountainside estate.
