Two skiers were killed and a third was rescued following an avalanche Thursday in the mountains outside of Salt Lake City that occurred after several days of spring snowstorms, authorities said.
The Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake confirmed to CBS News on Thursday afternoon that two of the skiers died in the avalanche and a third was rescued. No further details were immediately provided, and the names of the victims were not released.
Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera had earlier reported that the rescued skier had dug himself out of the snow, was rescued by midday and taken to a hospital.

So, he was just laying there.
