After mysteriously disappearing from a mountain in snowy New York, a 49-year-old skier was found six days later in sunny California, still in his ski clothes and just as confused as authorities. Constantinos "Danny" Filippidis, a firefighter from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, told authorities that he has no recollection of what happened after he was reported missing during an annual ski trip to Whiteface Mountain a week earlier on Wednesday, Feb. 7.

The search for Filippidis came to an end when the missing skier turned up in Sacramento, California, a whopping 2,500 miles from the slopes of the Adirondacks. “At this point, we want to assist Danny in getting back the last six days of his life,” said New York State Police Maj. John Tibbitts.

Filippidis told deputies he remembered little, but thought he’d suffered a head injury, rode in a “big rig-style truck” and slept “a lot,” Sgt. Shaun Hampton of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department told the Post-Standard of Syracuse. Filippidis said he bought an iPhone to call his wife and told deputies that a truck dropped him off in downtown Sacramento, where he got a haircut, Hampton said.
