In Utah one person has died as three more are caught in a separate slide.
An avalanche near the ski resort of Alta a man.
Another avalanche near Park City Mountain buried three skiers, though none of them was hurt.
It follows a recent fall of around 30cm.
The authorities are urging extreme caution in the back country.
“We have a lot of concerns about the snowpack, and it’s going to remain dangerous for a while,” said local forecaster, Greg Gagne, to local media.
“It’s not going to heal in a day or two. It’s going to get a little harder and harder to trigger an avalanche over time, but this isn’t going to go away anytime soon.”
