SUMMIT COUNTY — Summit County Search and Rescue Group is pursuing a text message that could lead them to the missing snowmobilers, according to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.
Missing are John McKibben of Kremmling, Greg Morris of Florida, and Murry Melloni of Littleton.
McKibben is ta longtime resident of Kremmling. He is self-employed concrete contractor. He has two grown sons and a brother who live in Grand County.
According to rescuers, two of the men are together — Morris and Melloni — but McKibben has been separated. The two men are the ones who sent the text message, which indicated they could hear the snowmobiles nearby.
The rescuers have determined the men are alive and together. Rescuers have found the snowmobile and found tracks, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Dozens of snowmobiles, along with helicopters from the National Guard, are searching this morning for three snowmobilers who went missing on Sunday.
According to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, the three went for a day trip on Sunday morning and when they didn’t return on Sunday evening, their friends and family began searching for them.
Search and Rescue was notified by the brother of one of the missing parties on Monday evening, after three friends who were searching for the missing parties became stranded at a cabin in the Elliot Ridge area near Mayhan Lake, north of Silverthorne.
Those men exited the search area at approximately midnight last night.
Rescue efforts were unable to begin until this morning due to the weather conditions last night.
Three teams of rescuers on snowmobiles were on their way to the area early Tuesday morning. Weather conditions and avalanche danger in the area remain extreme at this time.

What happened to the person that died. I have yet to hear how this happened to them. I really curious considering that the guy who died lived in Kremmling for most of his life and knew the area.

Give it some time and I bet the story will come out. PJ seems to have an inside line on this, and if I'm not mistaken he knows the person who passed. There are reports on the Denver news stations if you want to know what they are reporting. Sounds like he saved a couple of lives before losing his.
Unfortunate thing to happen. God speed to John and prayers go out to the family and friends for the strength to heal.
