Utah Avalanche Center officials believe the skiers involved in the unreported slide had likely ducked a rope at Brighton in order to access the backcountry.

The UAC said the aftermath of the slide was spotted by one of their own, along with a member of Brighton Resort's ski patrol. They said the avalanche occurred on the northwest slope of Hidden Canyon in the backcountry near Brighton, just north of the top of the Great Western chairlift, according to a map from the center.

With another storm coming, the Utah Avalanche Center is warning the public to take caution in the mountains of northern Utah, as avalanche danger is currently considerable and is expected to rise again.

The sluggish start to winter has left skiers and riders begging for snow. But now that it's falling, conditions in the backcountry are dangerous.

Those planning on heading up into the northern Utah mountains are being warned after dangerous avalanche conditions have developed, creating considerable to high avalanche danger.

A new report from the Utah Avalanche Center says one of the two teens buried in an avalanche over New Year's weekend in the Hidden Canyon backcountry near Brighton Resort was buried face down and saved by a third party.
