VIDEO: A group of snowmobilers are unharmed after they were able to self-rescue following an early-season avalanche near the Utah-Idaho state line. “That means it’s on,” Kaden Price said as he fired up his avalanche backpack in his Cache County home. “I always reach up and try to grab it,” he said, mimicking the motion as he pretended to pull at the backpack’s ripcord. Right now, Kaden is checking his avalanche gear. “For avalanche stuff, I carry a shovel, I carry a probe, I wear a beacon and I wear my avalanche bag,” he listed. “I haven’t charged it since Saturday,” he said as he pointed to a small gauge with lights on the ripcord. Kaden continued, as he slowly dissected his backpack and turned on and off his beacon.
