Two other bodies are yet to be found after three American men died in an avalanche while heliskiing seven months ago.

They were buried under 30m of snow.

We reported on it at the time on PlanetSKI:

David Linder, 39, Charles Eppard, 39, and Jeremy Leif, 38, were heliskiing together on March 4th when they were swept away by an avalanche.

Volunteers from the Alaska Mountain Rescue Group and Girdwood Volunteer Fire Department have now located the body of one of the men.

The remains have been taken to the state medical examiner’s office for identification.
