An avalanche in Chelan County, Washington, killed three climbers Sunday, marking the deadliest snow slide in the U.S. this winter and Washington’s worst such incident in years.
The victims are a 53-year-old man from Connecticut, a 60-year-old woman from New York and a 66-year-old man from New Jersey. A 56-year-old man from New York survived the slide. Mountain rescue volunteers hiked the remaining three people out of Colchuck Lake around 6:30 p.m. Monday. The survivor of the avalanche was able to walk out on his own despite his injuries, Reinfeld said.Around an hour after the initial avalanche, three more avalanches came down the couloir, potentially burying two of those killed, he said. Authorities know a rough location of one of the bodies.
The area is hazardous with lots of terrain that could be considered risky for a triggered or natural avalanche, said Mark Gunlogson, owner of Mountain Madness, a mountaineering company based in Seattle.The Northwest Avalanche Center had predicted moderate danger above and near tree line Sunday for the zone that includes Colchuck Peak, along with low danger below tree line.
