Deadly avalanches claimed atleast three lives
By: StreetBloggers 
Avalanches killed two snowmobilers in the U.S. state of Colorado and a skiier in Wyoming.
The Grand County sheriff's office said an avalanche occurred Saturday afternoon as four Colorado residents were snowmobiling near Grand Lake, on the western side of Rocky Mountain National Park. Three of them were caught in the slide but one of them was able to escape.
The two who were buried were declared dead at the scene near Gravel Mountain. They were identified as Brian Kopp, a 38-year-old firefighter from Larkspur, and 19-year-old Mark Goetz of Arvada.
Recent snows and winds have raised the risk of avalanches in parts of Colorado's mountains.
In Jackson, Wyoming, an avalanche on Saturday afternoon killed a skier at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.
