PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Rescuers are searching Oregon's Mount Hood for a 26-year-old man who apparently got lost while snowboarding.
His name was not released, but he was reported to be from the Southeast and visiting a friend in Hood River.
The Clackamas County sheriff's office started searching Sunday afternoon after the man called a friend on his cell phone to say he was lost.
Search crews were able to communicate with the man until his cell phone battery went dead, and are focusing on the tree line on the west side of the mountain.
The man was wearing clothing for snowboarding but crews said he was not equipped for extended overnight conditions, and temperatures have dropped into the teens.
