JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — A Jackson Hole Mountain Resort ski patroller is being treated at an Idaho hospital after being buried in an avalanche.
The resort says Mark Wolling (WAHL’-ing) was caught in the slide Wednesday morning as he and other patrollers conducted avalanche hazard reduction work in the Cheyenne Bowl.
The resort says the 58-year-old was buried in the sliding snow and fell over a cliff. Patrollers found Wolling buried in about 6 feet of snow.
Patrollers conducted CPR and used an Automated External Defibrillator while readying Wolling for transport to treatment in Jackson.
