Missing skiers located

Two skiers from Bonners Ferry, Idaho, were reported missing Saturday while recreating in the McKay Creek area southeast of Noxon. Both have been found safe, according to Sanders County Dispatch.

Identified by local friends, Dr. Ed Moellmer and his daughter, Kelly, had become separated and contacted the sheriff’s office to assist them to safety around 3:15 p.m. on Saturday. This prompted an all-night search resulting in search and rescue crews locating the father around 1 p.m. Sunday and taking him out by snowmobile.

Kelly was later located a couple hours later at 3 p.m. by Two Bear Air of Kalispell. She was transported by ambulance to Boundary Community Hospital in Bonners Ferry, where her father is chief of staff.
