Bencana · Ice Mountain searchIce Mountain missing hikers: Collapsed tent found, two students still missingDitulis 28 Oktober 2026 pukul 02.49 UTCTontonTranskrip0:07Searchers found the missing student's tent collapsed under snow, with their sleeping0:11bags still inside.0:12Neither student was there.0:13Deep snow is restricting the search, and more poor weather is expected later in the0:17week.0:18What can the campsite tell rescuers about where the two men went?0:21Caden Matsuda and Jackson Donlin remained missing in Tuesday's search updates.0:25Both attend Colorado Mountain College's Lidville campus.0:28Matsuda is nineteen and from Ridgway, Colorado.0:30Donlan is twenty and from New York.0:33Matsuda is studying to become a wildland firefighter, and Donlan is studying to0:37become a mountain guide.0:38Friends and relatives describe them as experienced hikers who should have had0:41suitable clothing.0:42They told deputies the students had built an option to turn back into their weekend0:46plans.0:47The students left campus Friday, October23, intending to hike Saturday.0:51They planned to return Saturday if continuing felt unsafe, or Sunday if they went0:56ahead.0:56College officials raised the alarm Monday.0:58Searchers found their collapsed tent Tuesday.1:00The planned destination was Ice Mountain in far northern Chaffee County, near Buena1:04Vista.1:05Friends showed deputies a text with a plotted map pointing to the mountain.1:08Another image circled Winfield and the trailhead, possibly marking where they1:12intended to enter the area or camp.1:14Deputies found Matsuda's vehicle at the Mount Huron Trailhead Monday.1:18The approach runs through the Winfield area.1:20Leadville was their departure point, and Buena Vista lies near the wider search1:24area.1:25Their actual hiking route is still unknown.1:27College staff contacted the sheriff's office at about ten Monday morning.1:31At the vehicle site, deputies found about eight inches of fresh snow, but none1:35beneath the car.1:36They believed the students had parked Friday and set up camp farther into the area1:39before the snowfall.1:40Heavy snow arrived Saturday afternoon after rain, showers, and a brief break in the1:44weather.1:45Roads deteriorated rapidly across Chaffee County.1:48Deputies dealt with more than a dozen slide offs and traffic accidents within1:52minutes.1:52Sheriff Andy Roric described Ice Mountain as a technical climb demanding1:56considerable experience even when dry.1:58By Saturday night, the mountain had received roughly one to two feet of snow.2:02Snow sliding and drifting into deeper piles left some areas much harder to cross.2:06Rorick said Ice Mountain had received up to two feet of snow, with three to four2:10feet in some areas.2:12Snow concealed the Boulderfield's rescuers would need to cross toward the peak,2:15making that approach extremely dangerous and virtually impossible on foot.2:18He also said a helicopter had nowhere to land on the mountain to bring teams in.2:22Rescuers considered avalanche concerns minimal because this was the season's first2:26major snowfall, but buried rocks and deep snow still made travel hazardous.2:30Chaffee County's north and south rescue teams began searching Monday.2:34About fifty searchers returned Tuesday from five counties.2:37Teams came from Teller, Lake Chaffee, Arapaho, and Park Counties.2:40Dogs and aircraft went out again.2:41After Monday's search, failed to find either student or any human tracks in the2:45fresh snow.2:46Dogs had also failed to locate the men.2:48Helicopters and multiple drones searched Ice Mountain and nearby peaks.2:51A multi-mission aircraft carried infrared equipment, which detects heat to help2:55search the terrain.2:56None of those searches had located either student by Tuesday's updates.2:59A helicopter spotted an object near Lake Anne around noon Tuesday.3:03The lake sits at about twelve thousand feet.3:05A team went in on foot and identified the object as the student's tent, collapsed3:09under the weight of snow.3:10Rescuers could reach the campsite despite the severe restrictions on crossing the3:13higher boulder fields toward the peak.3:15Sleeping bags, a stove, and some clothing remained inside the tent.3:19Deputies found no snow underneath it and no visible footprints nearby.3:22The snow observations suggested the tent was there before the storm.3:26Rescuers still couldn't tell where the students went afterward.3:29Finding their sleeping bags at camp also left unanswered what shelter or equipment3:33they had taken with them.3:34Phone examinations showed no use over a two-day period.3:37Cellular service in the area was poor to non-existent.3:39Deputies considered whether the men might have switched their phones off to save3:43batteries.3:43Rorick said he remained optimistic they were hunkered down somewhere, waiting to be3:47rescued.3:48Rorick warned that more poor weather later in the week could narrow the search3:51window.3:52He said the county was committing all its available resources.3:55Teams were also considering other destinations the students might have headed toward3:58beyond Ice Mountain.3:59The campsite gave rescuers a location for the student shelter before the snowfall.4:03Their whereabouts and condition remained unknown.4:06As of the Tuesday, October27 updates, searchers had found their vehicle in tent, but4:10neither student.Baca artikelKronologi ceritaHeyDexSiapa melaporkan apaPoin yang dilaporkan lebih dari satu media✓Kaden Matsuda, 19,
