Summary:
The search for M. and K.R. which was reported yesterday has
been successfully concluded. The two skiers were found by a helicopter crew
late Monday near the park boundary, about two miles from the nearest park
trail. They were hungry but uninjured. They had become lost in white-out
conditions several days ago, and had dropped below the rim to escape the 30-
50 mph winds that were blowing there. They attempted to follow a lower
contour around the rim, but became lost.

The region reports that there was excellent inter-agency cooperation on the
search, and that the skiers took all the right actions during the period
that they were lost.
