From Chaffee SO FB page : A bitter sweet end to the mystery today as Kaden Sites’s lifeless body was found in the wilderness near Tabaguache Creek about 1.5 miles away from where his truck was abandoned. Kaden was found by volunteer searchers and his body was recovered by the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office, Chaffee County Search and Rescue and the Chaffee County Coroner’s Office.
“Our hearts go out to the Sites family and friends this evening. Chaffee County has lost a wonderful member of our community which has left a void in our hearts. There was always a measure of hope that Kaden would be found alive. We are thankful the family will have some level of closure. Thank you to everyone who joined in the efforts to bring Kaden home. It is such a loving community we have.” -Sheriff Andy Rohrich
The Sites family has been notified. Please keep them in your prayers. A cause of death is not being released at this time pending further investigation. Foul play is not suspected.

Friends,
Come on out to the Crested Butte Center for the Arts on February 6th and check out this great fundraising event with ROMP skis and 11 other artists. This is a ski and art exhibition supporting local nonprofit organizations like ours.

SEND IT!! 🎿
We’re stoked to team up with ROMP and 11 artists to bring a Ski Art Exhibition to the Center. ROMP will debut new ski shapes and showcase artist-designed custom skis on display throughout the space.

Each artist has chosen a nonprofit to receive a portion of the proceeds. Plus, enjoy drink specials, a live DJ, flash tattoos, and ski films all night long.
