Skier's body recovered from Mt Feathertop
SYDNEY (AAP) - The body of a 57-year-old cross-country skier who went over a 700-metre drop on a Victorian mountain has been recovered.
The Eden man apparently lost control as he was skiing down Mt Feathertop in Victoria's northeast.
The man's body was located on the southeast side of the mountain, the state's second highest, in the Alpine National Park about 1.20pm (AEST) on Wednesday, police said.
The Victoria Police helicopter retrieved the body late on Wednesday evening.
The Search and Rescue squad will return to the mountain on Thursday to examine the scene.
A report is being prepared for the coroner.
