1 Dead, 1 Missing After Avalanches In Wrightwood

1 Other Man Extricated Out Of Snow Bank

WRIGHTWOOD, Calif. (CBS) ― Two avalanches in the mountains Friday left one man dead and another missing, according to authorities.

The victim was identified as Mike McKay, 24, a former employee at Mountain High Resort. The search meanwhile continued for skier Darren Toffey.

A third person was extricated from the snow in the San Bernardino Mountains.

In an earlier rescue attempt, a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy said a 23-year-old man, an employee at Mountain High Resort, was pulled from the snow at Government Canyon after the avalanche struck shortly after noon.

KCAL-TV reported from the scene that paramedics vigorously administered CPR for about 10 minutes. However, the skier still had no pulse when he was placed into an ambulance, according to San Bernardino authorities.

The man was reportedly skiing off the beaten path with two friends, also in their early 20s, when he became trapped. The trio was carrying beacon devices and thus was able to be located quickly.

The second avalanche, nearer to Sawmill Canyon, occurred about an hour and a half later between the east and the west ski resorts at Mountain High. In that incident, three men were skiing together. Two made it out safely and one is still missing.

Called "an expert skier," McKay was declared dead at a Hesperia hospital.
The avalanches occurred after an overnight storm that dumped new snow.
