Richmond skier still missing at Bear Valley Mountain Resort
A Richmond man who went missing at Bear Valley Mountain Resort on Wednesday night still had not been found Sunday afternoon, and the search for him continues.
Thomas Mullarkey, 65, did not return from skiing Wednesday, the Alpine County Sheriff’s Office said. His wife reported him missing to authorities at about 11:30 p.m. Since then, the search has been hindered by extreme weather and avalanche warnings.
Weather was clearer Sunday, and Jema Kimmel of the Alpine County Sheriff’s Office said that a number of searchers were out on cross-country and downhill skis, searching for Mullarkey.
