  The skier who survived was not buried and called for help on a mobile phone, Pitkin County sheriff's patrol director Jeff Lumsden said.

  That skier, Jason Luck 33, of Arvada, freed one victim, who was not breathing, sheriff's officials said. The other victim was buried under an estimated 8 feet of snow.

  It's easy to take nature for granted. So sad that these few had to be reminded in such a sad way.

  Here in Colo. we have had numerous instances of "out of bounds" skiers triggering avalanches. People just have to be very aware of their surroundings and what risks are not worth taking. Sad every time it happens.
