A missing person's report was filed Wednesday for Danieson Crowder, 41, of Vallejo after he went on a solo snowboarding trip two days earlier and did not return.
Search-and-rescue teams looked into where the missing snowboarder could be, the Placer County Sheriff's Office told SFGATE, and deduced that Crowder might still be on the mountain.
Crowder's car was still in the parking lot covered with snow, and teams searched the mountain. His body was found by a ski patrol, said Placer County Sgt. Dave Hunt.
The sheriff's office identified Crowder in a tweet Saturday afternoon, saying he was found in a tree well.
Especially high snow levels have created hazards for skiers and snowboarders this year, Hunt said.
Crowder's family did not immediately respond to a request to comment.
