Summit County emergency crews were on the scene at 12:30 p.m. The people caught in the slide were initially unaccounted for after the avalanche. After they were located, they were taken by toboggan to Highway 6 where an ambulance was waiting.
The slide is apparently 100 feet wide. What triggered the slide is being investigated.
