The search for missing Sugar Bowl ski instructor Carson May will not continue beyond Jan. 19.

The 23-year-old from Davis was last seen Jan. 15 skiing in white-out conditions on the back side of the resort. He was not working at the time. He was reported missing the next day.

This was May’s third year working at Sugar Bowl; he had been a season pass holder prior to that.

“Conditions during the five days of searching have been treacherous due to frequent heavy snow and the associated risks that high avalanche danger poses to the many search and rescue volunteers,” Placer County sheriff’s deputies said in a release.

It was noted if any new information becomes available and conditions allow, additional searches are possible.
