Search crews uncover bodies of 2 skiers buried by Utah avalanche, ready to bring them off mountain

Search crews have uncovered the bodies of two backcountry skiers who were swept away and buried by an avalanche in the mountains outside Salt Lake City. Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera says teams uncovered the bodies Friday morning and were preparing to bring them off the mountain via helicopter. The men, ages 23 and 32, were killed in a snowslide Thursday morning in the area of Lone Peak in the Wasatch Range southeast of Salt Lake City. The Utah Avalanche Center says the men were climbing up a ridge on a slope and near the top when the slide was unintentionally triggered.
