2 snowmobilers caught, 1 buried and died from injuries sustained after hitting trees. This area is 7 air miles SE of Philipsburg MT. on Towers Mountain. The avalanche was triggered from below and propagated several hundred feet upslope. This area is not covered by an avalanche center but the adjacent centers had avalanche warnings out over the holiday for dangerous conditions. A big slab on a very weak base layer of facets.
