JACKSON, Wyo. -- U.S. Forest Service officials say they plan to re-examine local and nationwide avalanche control procedures following avalanche deaths at Western ski resorts.

Already this season, three people have been killed while skiing in-bounds at resorts.

They include 31-year-old David Nodine, of Wilson, who died Saturday at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

Avalanches have killed others at the resorts in Snowbird, Utah, and Squaw Valley, Calif.

Non-fatal avalanches have caught skiers or ski patrollers at Jackson Hole; Mammoth, Calif.; and Colorado's Vail, Telluride and Arapahoe Basin resorts.

Ray Spencer is winter sports administrator for Bridger-Teton National Forest. He says he will investigate two avalanches at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, including a slide Monday that damaged a restaurant.

He says the Forest Service will recommend policy changes if necessary.
