ELKO, Nev. (AP) — Authorities have identified the snowmobiler who was killed in an avalanche in the Ruby Mountains over the weekend as a 19-year-old Spring Creek man.
The Elko County sheriff's office said Wednesday Ethan Lulay's body was recovered Sunday after a brief closure of Lamoille Canyon southeast of Elko.
He had been snowmobiling with two other men Saturday morning near Castle Lake in the mountains above the canyon in the Ruby Mountain Wilderness Area.
One suffered a broken leg and clavicle and was flown to a Salt Lake City hospital for treatment. The other was able to call for help shortly before noon. Their names haven't been released.
