Man found dead near snow-packed trail near Aspen

The Pitkin County Sheriff's Office says the body of the man, who appeared to be in his mid-30s, was found next to the snow-packed trail to Crater Lake near the Maroon Bells Saturday morning.

The Aspen Daily News reports that authorities don't believe the body is that of a New Mexico man who failed to return from a trip to climb Maroon Bells and nearby Pyramid Peak in September.
