Preliminary Report from Wasatch County SAR -
Yesterday we were called in to assist a couple of skiers that triggered an avalanche near Bloods Lake. Coordinates roughly (40.6000391, -111.5535980). With assistance from Wasatch Excursions, the skiers were given a ride out from the lake and received some care from Wasatch County EMS. One sustained a laceration to their face and broken nose, along with some rib pain (either bruising or broken). They also lost a ski. The other individual caught had no injuries.
We didn’t have time to survey the entire slide, but it was estimated the crow was roughly 40-50 wide.
