The bodies of two Colorado college students who died during a weekend hiking trip have been recovered by helicopter after gusty winds delayed efforts to bring them down. Kaden Matsuda and Jackson Donlon set out last Friday from Colorado Mountain College’s Leadville campus for what was supposed to be a weekend trip to 13,958-foot Ice Mountain. Their bodies were found Wednesday in a snow-filled basin of West Apostle Mountain. The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office reports that ground crews helped recover their bodies around 1 p.m. the following day. The office adds that it was raining when they started hiking. A severe storm arrived Saturday afternoon and dumped up to 2 feet snow.
