Snowmobiler dies, two hurt in avalanche COOKE CITY, Mont., Feb. 24 (UPI) -- A Saskatchewan snowmobiler died and two others were injured in a Montana avalanche, officials said. A total of seven snowmobilers from Saskatchewan were caught in the avalanche near Cooke City, Mont., on Wednesday, CBC News reported. A news release issued Thursday by the Park County sheriff's office in Montana said the snowmobilers were stopped on the trail and working to free a snowmobile that was stuck when the avalanche started. "The avalanche came through the trees completely burying three males and partially burying one," the release said. Three men from the party worked quickly to uncover the three completely buried men. Two of the men were dug out enough so they could breathe, the release said, while the partially buried man was able to work himself free of the snow. "The party activated their beacons and located the fourth buried member, dug him out [and] CPR was initiated but failed to revive the victim," the sheriff said. The man who died has been identified as Norman Pinsonneault, 48, from the Gravelbourg area.
