The Bureau of Land Management is offering a $10,000 bounty for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person behind the harassment and shooting of a 6-year-old wild burro late last year near the Last Chance Mountain Range just north of Pahrump.

A 57-year-old Boulder man was alone and did not have an avalanche beacon on him when he was killed by avalanche on Saturday.
However, even having a partner might have not been enough to save him, according to a new report produced by the Colorado Avalanche Information Center.
“(The skier) sustained significant traumatic injuries in the avalanche,” the report explained. “He might not have survived the avalanche even if he was touring with partners able to perform a quick rescue and recovery.”
