episode_narrativeTwo snowmobilers were buried in an avalanche on Teton Pass around 1230MST on Thursday, December 24. The pair were on a steep, east-facing slope of the Horseshoe Bowl at about 9,500 feet elevation when the hard slab avalanche broke above them. The slide, up to five feet deep, buried both snowmobilers. It took one of them at least three hours to dig himself free after he was buried under three feet of snow. He then came to the rescue of the second person who had suffered a broken leg. The avalanche danger was high due to recent heavy snow of two or more feet in the Teton Range.
