Avalanche danger creates challenges searching for missing snowmobiler

Boise County, ID (CBS2) — Organized search efforts for a missing snowmobiler have been put on hold.

On Monday, March 13, 2023, the Boise County Sheriff’s Department received a call from the Lowman Ranger District that an employee had not shown up for work.

Deputies determined Tyler Beyer, 30 years old, left his home in Lowman by snowmobile on Sunday.

Several agencies including Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue began searching for him.

Searchers had a hard time accessing the area because of over 300 avalanches in the area.

Deputies say Tyler did not have avalanche equipment with him.

They say it was common for him to ride alone.

A hunter last saw Tyler in the Lick Creek area on Sunday, March 12th around 4 pm.

Searchers remain in the area daily to continue recovery efforts as conditions change.

Boise County Sheriff’s office would like to remind the public to check conditions before going out

They continue to keep Tyler’s family in our thoughts and prayers as they navigate this difficult time.
