The body of the skier was found this morning, buried in the snow on a slope of the Manaslu mountain, about 6 thousand meters high.
The events that led to the downfall of Hilaree Nelson
The renowned American mountaineer, Hilaree Nelson, suffered a fall last Monday when she was skiing back to base camp after reaching the summit of Manaslu, 8,163 meters high, along with her husband Jim Morrison.

It is important to point out that Nelson had already warned of the conditions of this expedition through her social networks where she expressed her desire to return to her home.
