MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Wash. (AP) - The body of a skier who disappeared after falling 150 feet into a crevasse at Mount Rainier National Park Sunday has been recovered.
KCPQ-TV reported Monday that Mount Rainier National Park officials received a report Sunday that a skier had fallen near the 12,800 feet elevation of Mount Rainer.
Park officials said three people had summited Mount Rainier and were descending when one skied into a crevasse.
