The body of a missing backcountry skier has been recovered after rescuers dug 13 feet following an avalanche on Mount Washington, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said. The skier, whose name hasn’t been released, was reported missing by his friends Tuesday night. Last month, a skier survived after getting buried in an avalanche on the mountain. The skier lost his skis and poles and found himself face down, but with his head near the surface, the Mount Washington Avalanche Center said.
