My friends were just on their way to go sledding up Providence canyon today, but I had to be here at work. They got turned around at the bottom of the canyon by the Sherriff.

" BREAKING NEWS: 2 dead after avalanche in Cache County
December 24th, 2008 @ 12:00pm
LOGAN, Utah (AP) -- Authorities say two people are dead following an avalanche in Cache County.

Sheriff's Lt. Matt Bilodeau says the slide happened at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday on the backside of Logan Peak.

Bilodeau says the two were snowmobiling. He has no information on their identities.

Bilodeau says search teams do not believe anyone else was caught in the avalanche.

Avalanche danger across northern Utah has been high this week as new snowfall has made the snowpack increasingly fragile. The Utah Avalanche Center has cautioned people not to venture into the backcountry.

Logan is about 85 miles north of Salt Lake City.
