YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — Two snowmobilers were killed in separate avalanches in Washington state and in Idaho.
Two snowmobilers riding in the Cascade Mountains west of Yakima, Washington, on Friday triggered a slide in a generally east-facing bowl near Darland Mountain, according to the Northwest Avalanche Center. The rider who did not survive was described as fully buried. The rider’s name wasn’t released.
“While we don’t know for sure, this avalanche likely failed on older persistent weak layers in the snowpack,” the organization said, adding that many other areas were dealing with the same problem.
Another snowmobiler was killed Friday in an avalanche in Idaho in the southern Selkirk Mountains in the Idaho panhandle region, according to a news release from Boundary County Emergency Management.
The friend was “barely able to outrun the avalanche on his snowmobile,” according to the news release. That snowmobiler went back to search for his friend, who was wearing an avalanche beacon, and found him dead underneath the snow.
Searchers on Saturday recovered the body of snowmobiler Lance J. Gidley, 54, of Sandpoint, Idaho, the news release said. Avalanche warnings were in effect for the area at the time.
Ten people have been killed in avalanches this year in the U.S., according to Avalanche.org.
