BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON -- A 51-year-old man from Cottonwood Heights is dead after he got caught in an avalanche near Solitude Wednesday afternoon.

The man was with two other skiers when the avalanche occurred in the Silver Fork area of Big Cottonwood Canyon before 2 p.m.

The trio of skiers were in an area called the Meadows. Two of the skiers got out safely; a third was buried in snow for a while. He was wearing a locator beacon. Crews were able to dig him out but were not able to revive him.

Hopeful for a good outcome.........have to wait and see.

Wasatch Back Country Rescue has responded.

The missing skier is wearing a beacon, so searchers have an idea of where he is.

Unfortunately, that makes two lives lost this week to avalanches.
