Backcountry

Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera says teams uncovered the bodies Friday morning. The men — 23-year-old Andrew Cameron of Utah and 32-year-old Austin Mallet of Montana — were killed in a snowslide Thursday morning in the area of Lone Peak.

Two backcountry skiers were killed and one was rescued after an avalanche Thursday in the mountains outside of Salt Lake City.

With improved safety gear and better training, advocates are working toward a safer Utah backcountry.
