At least three captured in US avalanche

Rescuers are searching today for at least three people trapped in up to 30ft of snow after an avalanche outside a Utah ski resort.

Summit County Sheriff Dave Edmunds said he did not know precisely how many people were missing in the slide, but said he was “willing to say more than two”. He did not know if victims were wearing avalanche beacons, which would transmit their locations, even under the snow.
