Allen Foss, 48, was buried in a large avalanche slide on the east side of Sherman Peak. A report from the Utah Avalanche Center indicates the Bear Lake County Sheriff’s Office was notified of the avalanche and several people rushed to the site around 11 a.m. Officials who visited the avalanche site say a steep 37-degree slope gave way with snow traveling 1,000 feet down the gully. It has not been reported how deep Foss was buried, but officials described it as “a large amount of snow.”
