Death
The wider storm
An avalanche killed a 21 year-old man who was snowmobiling near Togwotee Pass. It took Search and Rescue two days to find the man, who was buried under 12 feet of snow, due to inclement weather and additional avalanches. A companion escaped injury because he was riding above where the snow broke free.
