Skier goes off piste

POLICE are trying to work out how a 49-year-old skier, whose disappearance sparked a huge search on a New York mountain, ended up six days later in California, confused and in ski clothes.

Toronto firefighter Constantinos “Danny” Filippidis was reported missing on Wednesday last week from Whiteface Mountain during a ski trip with colleagues. On Tuesday, he turned up in Sacramento, California, 4000km away.

“We want to assist Danny in getting back the last six days of his life,” police Major John Tibbitts said.
