    Snowboarder caught in avalanche near Brighton Resort
    December 13th, 2007 @ 2:46pm
    SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A snowboarder was caught and partially buried in avalanche outside Brighton Resort on Thursday.

    Resort manager Randy Doyle says the 24-year-old man and two friends left the resort boundaries and were in an area known as Pioneer Ridge. The three triggered the slide about 1:30 p.m. on a north facing slope, and the man was dragged under.

    Doyle says the man was only partially buried and his friends dug him out. He was not seriously injured.

    None of the men carried avalanche gear.

    I saw footage on our local news here. 1 snowboarder, 2 skiers, 1 one of the skiers was bleeding from the face pretty profusely.
