Safety Missing skier off Flower Point

[Mike King]

More info. Sounds like a transciever/beacon issue.

"Flathead County Sheriff Chuck Curry told the Inter Lake on Monday that Dr. Jonathan Torgerson’s body was found a couple of hundred yards off Canyon Creek Road in a backcountry area accessible from Whitefish Mountain Resort’s Flower Point area.
...
A search dog from Colorado ultimately made the discovery at the bottom of the avalanche path, Curry said.

“He was in an area that had a cursory search previously, but transceivers didn’t get a hit off his beacon,” Curry said.

Curry said it did not appear that Torgerson suffered any traumatic injuries."

Pretty sad. A friend of mine knew him and was treated by him when she lived in Whitefish. RIP.

Yes, he treated me a few times. I wouldn't say I knew him, but his "migraine cocktail" is written in my address book.

Will you divulge it?

This was an emergency room thing. I have issues with Toradol. He figured out a way around them. I wish I could say I'd been cured of them. No such luck.
