The body of a famed U.S. ski mountaineer was discovered in Nepal Wednesday, two days after she fell off the world's eighth-highest mountain near its peak.

Hilaree Nelson, 49, had been skiing down from the summit of Mount Manaslu with her partner Jim Morrison, also a celebrated extreme skiier, when she fell off the Himalayan mountain on Monday.

Bad weather had hampered rescue efforts, but teams were able to renew their search on Tuesday. Nelson's body was eventually found and retrieved on Wednesday, a spokesperson for Shangri-La Nepal Trek, the company that organized the expedition, told NBC News.

The spokesperson said Nelson's body would be transported to Kathmandu.
