Authorities in the United States have temporarily closed tourist resorts in the Mount Baldy area of the San Gabriel mountains, California, where Julian Sands went missing, due to the danger of avalanches.

The Mount Baldy resort and popular nearby areas were "temporarily closed" on Monday and would remain that way until further notice, authorities said.

Snow storms have battered the southern Californian region throughout the past week, almost two months on from when British actor Sands was first reported missing after setting out for a hike.

Though no evidence of Sands has yet been found, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s department previously vowed to "bring closure" to his family.

Searches by both ground and air have been suspended while adverse weather conditions continue.

Angeles National Forest tweeted: "After major snowfall near steep mountainsides, there can be avalanche danger.

"The Mt Baldy area, including the Mt Baldy Resort and nearby popular areas for snow play, will remain temporarily closed until further notice due to avalanche danger."

The weather has been brutal in all of our moutain areas. (I'm in CA). It's beautiful to look at but very dangerous to be out in.
I hope & pray Julian will eventually be found. I'd love his family to have some sort of closure.

Yes. As @wary said above, it's been one storm after another. The snow is still deep and it's icy in the mountains where Julian was climbing. The weather has been brutal this year. I'm afraid it will be deep into spring or possibly early summer before the mountain where Julian was climbing can be accessed safely IMO. I'm hopeful at some point they will be able to find him. Given the weather and animals (bears, bobcats, mountain lions, birds of prey) in our local mountains it worries me though.

The son of missing British actor Julian Sands has thanked rescuers for their efforts in trying to locate his father, more than three months since he disappeared on a mountain near Los Angeles.

The search to find Sands, 65, has been complicated by bad weather as Southern California has been battered by punishing storms over the winter. Mount Baldy, where Sands went missing on January 13, has had unusually heavy snowfall, making the already treacherous conditions worse.

The San Bernardino county sheriff’s department, which is conducting the search, has been using drones in an attempt to find Sands and said a ground search will resume.

Still missing.

Authorities say parts of the mountain remain inaccessible "due to extreme alpine conditions" despite the recent warmer weather. The department added that many areas of the steep and rugged terrain still have over 10 feet of ice and snow.

Hikers on Saturday found human remains in a Southern California mountain area where British actor Julian Sands disappeared five months ago, authorities said.

The body was discovered around 10am in wilderness near Mount Baldy.

It was transported to the coroner's office for identification next week, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said in a statement.

Sands, an avid hiker and mountaineer, was reported missing on January 13 after setting out on the peak that rises more than 10,000 feet east of Los Angeles. The region was pounded by severe storms during winter.

On Friday, his family released its first statement since Sands' disappearance.

'We continue to hold Julian in our hearts with bright memories of him as a wonderful father, husband, explorer, lover of the natural world and the arts, and as an original and collaborative performer,' the statement said.
