Bodies found after avalanche deaths
JACKSON, Wyo. – Two skiers swept up in a massive avalanche while they slept were found dead Sunday after a six-day search, a Grand Teton National Park official said.
Rescuers recovered the bodies of 27-year-old Walker Pannell Kuhl and 31-year-old Gregory Seftick after digging into about 15 feet of snow, said park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs.
Skaggs said investigators believe Kuhl and Seftick were in their tents and inside their sleeping bags when they were swept up in an avalanche last week.
Kuhl was from Salt Lake City, and Seftick was a Minnesota native who was living in Columbia Falls, Mont.
