PITKIN COUNTY, Colo.- Search efforts continued Thursday to find a skier who has been missing for a week.

The Pitkin County Sheriff's office sent a team to check for signs of Jeff Walker, 55, in an out-of bounds area near the Aspen Highlands Ski Resort, but yielded no results.

Walker's was reported missing on Saturday, March 9, after friends had not seen him since Thursday, March 7.

According to the Aspen Times, family and friends of Walker have set up a fundraising website to help pay for search and rescue expenses. The Find Jeff Walker website features Jeff's brother.

Officials are evaluating whether more searches are needed.

Investigators with the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office will focus their attention on leads from the public, which could initiate field operations again.

If anyone has information about Jeff Walker's whereabouts, they are asked to call the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office at (970) 920-5300.
