A ski mountaineer from Ouray, Colorado died in a crevasse fall in Denali National Park earlier this week. The victim was identified as 28-year-old Mason Stansfield, who worked as a mountain guide for San Juan Mountain Guides in Ouray and as a guide in Alaska and was a beloved member of the Colorado climbing and skiing community. Stansfield and his partner were traveling unroped across a glacier when Stansfield fell through a snowbridge into a 100-foot deep crevasse on the Eldridge Glacier east of Denali. After the fall, his partner could not see or communicate with him, and initiated a National Park Rangers rescue via an inReach emergency communication device. Rangers were transported via helicopter and were able to locate and extract the victims remains. More details are available in the NPS press release here.
