SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The body of a 37-year-old Norwegian man who disappeared while skiing in the mountains was discovered Thursday, the fourth avalanche death in Utah in less than a week.
Searchers in the Wasatch Mountains backcountry located the body of Vegard Lund of Tromso, Norway, after explosives were dropped from a helicopter to clear snow and create a safe route.
"He's a confirmed fatality," said Bruce Tremper, a forecaster with the Utah Avalanche Center.
