"It was apparent that the man had suffered a significant fall in icy terrain," the department said in a statement. The glade is near state-run Cannon Mountain, a historic ski resort scheduled to open for the season on Friday. Search-and-rescue crews bushwhacking through cold, mountainous terrain came upon the hiker's body within Saturday's first hour on Kinsman Ridge, a feature that leads to Cannon Mountain, the department said. Conditions over the weekend were cold enough to welcome 8 inches of new snow, according to Cannon Mountain's daily weather report on Monday. "Winter conditions have arrived in the mountains, and hikers are encouraged to be prepared for their trek," the Fish and Game Department said.

Troopers and state Department of Fish and Game officials will travel there when weather conditions allow it, according to the dispatch. Fatal polar bear attacks have been rare in Alaska’s recent history. In 1990, a polar bear killed a man farther north of Wales in the village of Point Lay.

A hiker died Saturday after falling off the summit of a New Hampshire mountain while taking pictures with his wife, officials said. The couple were at the top of Mount Willard around 10:30 a.m. when the unidentified man fell over the edge and down a steep cliff, NBC Boston reported. Mountain Rescue Service personnel rappelled down the cliff and found the hiker dead about 2:30 p.m., about four hours after his fall, according to the news station. The rescue team raised the man's body back up the summit and took it back to the trailhead parking area about 6:45 p.m., NBC Boston reported. In February, a 67-year-old man died while hiking up Mount Willard to go ice climbing, CBS Boston reported at the time.
