The search for Sands is still ongoing, but it's still risky to search on foot, San Bernardino County Sheriff's office spokeswoman Mara Rodriguez told CNN on Thursday.

According to Rodriguez, there needs to be a ground search since it would be too dangerous for any of our search and rescue workers to enter the mountain.

The sheriff's office used drones and helicopters to conduct an aerial search on Thursday morning, but results have yet to be found.

They say that the circumstances on the mountain will determine when officials can conduct a search on foot. They are also still determining their chances of finding Sands alive.
