The bodies of three backcountry skiers killed in an avalanche in southwestern Colorado were found Wednesday.
Seth Bossung, Andy Jessen and Adam Palmer died Monday. The town and county of Eagle, Colo., where the men lived, released their names with the permission of their families "so we can all openly acknowledge their deaths and grieve together."
All three men were involved in or worked for county and town governments.
"Our hearts are heavy with the loss of these three men," the Eagle statement continued. "Their contributions through their work in local government and local businesses, as well as their personal passions and their impact on the friends and family members they leave behind, have helped shape the community in ways that will be forever lasting. Every single one of us in both of our organizations has learned from their examples, and we are grateful to be able to call them colleagues."
