Connor Gill, a 26-year-old Denver resident, is an intermediate snowboarder and knows the Vail area, according to a friend who reached out directly to Vail Daily.

The Eagle County Sheriff’s Office confirmed with Vail Daily on Sunday that his last pass scan was at 8:50 a.m. at the Avanti Express chairlift.

Gill was reported missing to Vail Ski Patrol by a friend on Friday afternoon. Patrollers started searching Friday, and the search continued all day Saturday. By mid-morning Saturday, Vail Mountain Rescue was invited in to the search effort, and has been assisting since.

Due to heavy snow and wind on Saturday, aircraft like helicopters and drones were not able to fly, but drones may be brought in Sunday. Dogs were utilized both Saturday and Sunday in the search, according to a Vail Resorts spokesperson.

Vail Mountain received 27 inches of snowfall in the last 48 hours, according to the MyEpic app. Strong winds have been a cause for visibility issues throughout the weekend, and the area is currently under a winter storm watch through Tuesday morning.

The search will continue on Monday, and, if needed, into Tuesday. Monday’s search effort will be slightly scaled back due to the expected weather. The team continues to look in the Avanti Express area as well as in Game Creek Bowl. Cell phone forensics show Gill’s last location to be in that area.

The Eagle County Sheriff’s Office is encouraging members of the public who were skiing or snowboarding on Vail Mountain Friday to review any photographs or videos they might have taken to see if they can spot Gill. This will assist rescuers in putting together a timeline. Any information should be communicated to the Vail Public Safety Communications Center (dispatch) through its non-emergency line, 970-479-2201.
