Gráinne McLaughlin, who is in Wyoming, said walkers and mountaineers are being asked to look out for her son’s personal items - a red iPhone, red watch, sun glasses and a silver chain
His car was later found parked near the Lupine Meadows trail head at the National Park.
Grand Teton National Park is 70km long and 40km wide and comprises more than 300,000 acres of mountainous land with lakes and rivers.She said he worked as a snowboard instructor during the winter and in a bar during the summer and was drawn to Wyoming"because of the mountains, for the skiing and for the summer hiking and loving the outdoors".
Yesterday, it was reported that a woman who provided US authorities with false information during the search was fined $17,600 . Ms McLaughlin said it was upsetting to know that valuable time was lost in the search, but said:"We were informed of this during our last visit. We were here in October before the winter snow closed the search activity down.
"Being here now at the anniversary, there is still quite a lot of snow...and then we have high temperatures which is melting the snow at a rapid rate and it just makes the conditions on the ground very, very dangerous, especially in the higher areas," she said.
