Ground crews are still unable to continue their search for missing actor Julian Sands due to avalanche danger in the area.
Mr Sands, 65, was reported missing on Friday while hiking in the Baldy Bowl area of the San Gabriel Mountains as the search continues by local authorities using “helicopters and drones, weather permitting”.
“The aerial search is resuming, but due to the freezing conditions and avalanche danger, we have not yet been able to resume the ground search,” Gloria Huerta, public information officer for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, told the BBC on Friday.
She said there was “no time set” for when they would start again.
