snow slide

David Macfarlane, 64, of Park City, Utah, died Tuesday in the snow slide near Lost Trail Pass on the Montana-Idaho border, Sheriff-Coroner Steve Holton said in a statement.

From January 12-21, 2024, visitors can enjoy weekend fireworks, ice-carved sculptures, a bar made of ice, a snow slide and other cold-weather entertainments in Lake Chelan and Manson.

They were among a group of six climbers climbing a steep, narrow gully when the snow slide occurred.

In the avalanche a day prior, Seung-chang Park survived but incurred a leg injury — not a broken leg, as the rescue call had stated — while Gab-jong Jang and Tae-gyu “Teddy” Kim had narrowly avoided the snow slide.

Crews returned Wednesday to the backcountry near Washington’s Colchuck Peak, assessing avalanche hazards at the scene of the snow slide that killed three people over the weekend.
