KEYSTONE, Colo. (AP) - The identity of a 20-year-old backcountry snowboarder who died in an avalanche near Loveland Pass is expected to be released Thursday.
Summit County Coroner Joanne Richardson said the slide happened at about 3 p.m. Wednesday, about a mile west of Arapahoe Basin Ski Area. Two other snowboarders who were behind and above the man survived the avalanche.
The man's name was not been released. Richardson said the man, an employee at Breckenridge Ski Resort, was from Spring Grove, Ill. He had lived in Colorado since November.
