A skier was rescued on Friday in Teton County, Wyoming, near Jackson Hole after getting caught in an avalanche and carried about 500 yards.
Matt Hansen, communication director for Teton County Search and Rescue Foundation, told CNN that two skiers were on a ski tour that began on a trail head on top of Teton Pass in the backcountry. “At midday, while using climbing skins attached to their skis, they crossed a southeast-facing slope on Rendezvous Peak when they triggered a large avalanche,” the Teton County Search and Rescue said in a Facebook post.
“After he was recovered by his partner, he learned he had suffered a leg injury as a result of the avalanche,” the Facebook post said. Following the incident, the skiers called authorities and informed them about the avalanche, Hansen said.
