I heard of a avalanche in Utah this morning involving a snomobiler. Does anyone have any more information.

The massive slide hit three snowmobilers who were fixing one of the men's machines. Two swam out; the third was buried for about 45 minutes.

"We started cpr immediately, and LifeFlight came in and transported the victim with cpr in progress," Hazard said.

Christensen wasn't wearing an avalanche beacon.

"I don't know what else to say. It's dangerous out there, and the snow needs to be respected," Hazard said.

Wasn't wearing a beacon - please people, buy one and learn how to use it.

My condolenses to the family.

be careful

please look at the avy forecast daily. It is written for us to use. Also only put one person on the hill at a time and doo not stop in the avy run-out zone.
