Volunteers on Oct. 3 recovered a man's body caught in a log jam beneath the avalanche slide area, while guides using avalanche beacons identified a burial zone between 40 feet and nearly 100 feet deep.

Radio owner David Linder co-owned Subarctic Media LLC and Lakeland Media LLC, and the recovery provides community closure months after the incident earlier this year while searches continue.
