Two skiers died and five others were rescued when a series of avalanches slammed an Idaho ski resort, according to reports.

Staffers at Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg confirmed one fatality and the recovered skiers who had minor injuries in a Facebook post early Tuesday from the 6,200-foot Wardner Peak area.

Hours later, crews found a seventh person buried in snow, but he was later pronounced dead at a hospital, the Shoshone News-Press reports.

The skiers were trapped after three avalanches occurred at the resort between 10 and 11 a.m., just after staffers performed controlled blasting in the area to prevent them from occurring, the newspaper reports.

The other skier who died was found buried beneath 10 feet of snow and was located by crews using probes. The identities of the victims had not been released as of late Tuesday, pending notification of their families, according to the newspaper.

“Indications are all skiers are now accounted for,” resort officials said in a statement late Tuesday. “Silver Mountain extends our deepest condolences to everyone affected, and out of respect to the families, no further comments will be released at this time.”

Skiers flocked to the resort after 13 inches of fresh powder had fallen since its last opening, the Spokesman-Review reports.

“That’s what we live for,” Dolph Hoch, a Silver Mountain Resort regular from Kellogg, told the newspaper.

The nearly vertical Wardner Peak had been open less than an hour before the incident. The Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center issued a warning earlier Tuesday to alert travelers of high-risk conditions due to “rapid loading with new snow and wind slabs over the buried persistent weak layers,” the newspaper reports.

The notification was apparently enough to keep some skiers on high alert.

“I thought conditions were kind of sketchy,” Bruce Rosenoff, 72, told the Spokesman-Review. “I was careful where I was going to go.”
