The family is devastated after a Wyoming man was killed in Avalanche – ksl.com

Evanston, Wyoming – Family and Community grieve for the loss of a man from Evanston who died after being trapped under an avalanche. The man’s brother says that this shows that the tragedy can happen to anyone.

Trevor Harmon said that he and his half brother, Scott Wright, practically grew up on motor sleds. They had more time to drive than many people.

Many people are now devastated that Wright did not return from a motorcycle trip on Monday. He was snow -supply with a friend near the Monte Cristo Motor Sled Zone when an avalanche struck.

We all have our passions in life, and for Wright, the motor joke was great.

“He has always been a hell of these things,” Haron said, “since he was an adult enough to take a handful of gas.”

Harmon and his brother managed High Uinta Ventures Joatmon together for several years before he had recently split.

“He’s always an air ranger, I guess you would say,” Haron explained. “He liked to jump really high and climb really steep and jump from it.”

Harmon said that Wright sometimes accepted this experience to help save people who have stuck about 30 miles south of Evanston.

Search and rescue crews from Rich, Cache and Weber Counts responded on Monday. It took nearly four hours after the avalanche to find it.

Some friends who removed his motorcycle on Tuesday said the snow was a few meters deep.

“He has affected many of the life of people in positive ways – more than I knew,” Haron said. “He is just one of those dudes who are cool to be around.”

So much that when Harmon exposed the word on Monday night, dozens of people appeared to Wright. At least one friend now plans to raise funds in his honor. The details are still being developed.

“My phone started ringing like crazy and it’s almost heartfelt to know that there are so many people here to support it,” Haron said.

Although we do not know exactly what went wrong on Monday, Harmon hopes at least that people will be reminded of paying attention, checking the conditions and preparing.

“An avalanches are not a joke,” Haron said. “You can hear the horror stories throughout the day, but until you are directly affected by it, you don’t really want to accept it.”
