Two Durango backcountry skiers who died in an avalanche this past weekend were experienced and intimately familiar with the terrain, but rare and dangerous snowpack conditions presented risks not seen in years.
3 killed, 9 caught after 132 avalanches in CO
DENVER (KCNC) The Colorado Avalanche Information Center is asking people to use extreme caution when venturing into Colorado’s backcountry over the Christmas holiday. Despite having a below normal snowpack conditions are described as being unusually dangerous around the state. In the last week, 380 avalanches have been reported around the state.
“Since Friday three Coloradans lost their lives in avalanche accidents, and 132 avalanches were reported. One hundred and eight avalanches were triggered by people in the last week” said Ethan Greene, Director, Colorado Avalanche Information Center.
Greene says we’re not seeing the landscape-changing events like we saw during March of 2019, but stresses the current snowpack is the weakest we’ve seen since 2012. As more snow falls in the upcoming weeks avalanches could become more dangerous. The current conditions require additional caution.
Nevada snowmobiler killed in Wyoming avalanche identified
December 22, 2020 GMT
KEMMERER, Wyo. (AP) Authorities on Tuesday identified a snowmobiler killed in a Wyoming avalanche as a 41-year-old Nevada man.
Brandon Jones, of Elko, Nevada, was killed Friday after the avalanche overtook him as he was riding on a slope known as “Suicide Hill” in the Salt River Range southeast of Afton, Wyoming, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office said.
It was one of the first avalanche fatalities in the U.S. this winter.
Jones was able to deploy a balloon-like airbag that’s intended to help people survive avalanches, but was partially buried with a leg sticking out, authorities said. It took 10 to 15 minutes to unbury him, Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center officials reported.
