Jeffrey Miller, 26, and his dog disappeared Monday while snowboarding in a storm with a friend.

The friend reported that he and Miller were snowboarding past an area called the fingers when a small slide occurred near them. The friend looked back and saw Miller and his dog behind him. The friend snowboarded down a short distance further and looked back and said he could no longer see Miller or his dog. The friend continued down the drainage, caught a ride back to the top and snowboarded the drainage two more times looking for Miller, but was unable to find him.

Monday's snowstorm closed Berthoud Pass at 11 a.m. The road was closed for 32 hours due to snow, strong winds and avalanches.
