Mono County, California deputies have found the body of a Michigan skier who has been missing since last month.

Search and rescue teams found 31-year-old Boris Avdeev's body Thursday afternoon in Cocaine Chute - a popular backcountry skiing location.

Friday, they used a Black Hawk helicopter to remove his body from that location.

The cause of his death is still under investigation.

Avdeev was last heard from on April 19th when he left a note on the windshield of his car saying he'd be gone for the day.
