WINTER PARK, Colo. (AP) - A backcountry skier was killed in an avalanche in Colorado on Saturday, becoming the fourth person to die in a slide in the state in just over a week.
The man was found buried in an avalanche near Berthoud Pass after relatives reported him overdue, the Grand County Search and Rescue said. Search team members found a recent avalanche and a pair of goggles before finding the skier buried in the snow, the group said.
