A backcountry skier died in a fall in Grand Teton National Park
JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — A backcountry skier died in a fall in Grand Teton National Park.
Radcliff Spencer, 27, of Jackson, died Sunday trying to ski Apocalypse Couloir in Death Canyon in the southern end of the park, Grand Teton officials said in a statement.
A climber saw the fall in the couloir — a steep, narrow mountainside gully — and search and rescue workers who arrived weren't able to resuscitate Spencer.
A helicopter carried four others who were with Spencer out of the canyon.
