Alaska Wildlife Troopers said an avalanche buried three skiers under a blanket of snow between 40 and 100 feet deep in a small resort town.

The three missing skiers who were reportedly buried under up to 100 feet of snow after an avalanche in the Alaska backcountry earlier this week have been identified, Alaska State Troopers said Thursday.

A 51-year-old backcountry skier died after being caught in an avalanche, Utah sheriff’s officials reported. The man was reported missing after he failed to return home from a solo ski trip at 5 p.m. Friday, March 7, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
