The department says Dufour’s car was found covered in snow at a trailhead, but says tracking him has been difficult due to recent snowfall.
Dozens of New York state forest rangers are searching for Dufour with help from state police air support units equipped with infrared light.
Dufour is described as five feet seven inches tall and 150 pounds with brown hair, and was wearing a black Arc’teryx coat, a tan hat and reflective sunglasses at the time he went missing.
