"The search team that left this morning on a helicopter spotted her body and is bringing her back," Jiban Ghimire of Shangri-La Nepal Trek, which organised the expedition, told AFP news agency on Wednesday. Nelson, 49, is described by her sponsor, The North Face, as "the most prolific ski mountaineer of her generation".
