An avalanche in Pole Canyon that killed a 38-year-old man was 4,500 feet wide and 3 feet deep, traveling 2,250 feet into the canyon, according to an avalanche report.
. The agency writes that the avalanche was 4,500 feet wide and 3 feet deep, traveling 2,250 feet into the canyon.. The report was issued as avalanche danger remains extremely high across northern Utah, prompting closures, ongoing avalanche mitigation efforts and warnings.Warner's brother began his descent on the mountain around 6 p.m., slowly moving into the bowl from Flat Top Mountain, with Warner following.
It's unclear where Warner was when the avalanche began other than he was behind his brother. He radioed to his brother, saying "not good, not good" and deployed an airbag backpack as the avalanche descended on the two, the report adds. The brother escaped the edge of the avalanche but Warner was carried by the slide.
The report notes that Utah County Sheriff's Office search and rescue arrived about an hour later, finding Warner's brother and the group of friends trying to find the missing man. Crews found Warner's snowmobile after about another hour of searching and then found Warner's body, which was buried in 13 feet of snow. His airbag was ruptured, possibly by the "pressure of the avalanche debris," the report adds.
