The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for the area during the time Kraft was supposed to be traveling.
On law enforcement comment threads, social media users described a difficult environment.
One wrote": 'Those first two days of his trip were the WORST blizzard days here in Mammoth, so I can't imagine what the weather must have been like starting out on the High Sierra Route. Not sure why someone would hike this route alone in the winter, let alone THIS winter! I pray he has hunkered down somewhere and will come out alive or be found alive.'
Authorities are requesting that anyone with any information contact the Inyo County Sheriff's Office Emergency Services at 760-878-0383, option 4; Mono County Sheriff's Office at 760-932-7549, option 7; or Fresno County Sheriff's Office at 559-600-8400.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
