Two people have died in separate avalanches in Colorado, bringing the state's fatalities to 10 in the last three months.
A snowmobiler was buried in an avalanche west of Rollins Pass and a solo backcountry snowboarder was killed on the 12,477-foot Mount Trelease on Sunday.
The two deaths come after the nation recorded the deadliest avalanche week in more than 100 years earlier this month.
Ethan Greene, director of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC), told ABC News this winter is shaping up to be the state's worst avalanche season in modern history.
