Search for missing Quebec hiker Leo Dufour shifts to recovery as harsh winter limits efforts.

The search for 22-year-old Quebec hiker Leo Dufour, missing since November 29 in the Adirondacks, has shifted from rescue to recovery due to harsh winter conditions. Despite extensive searches by 60 forest rangers covering over 400 miles and using infrared technology, the search is now limited due to heavy snow and temperatures below -30°C. The last clue was a water bottle near the summit, and the search will continue on a limited basis when weather permits.
