Authorities have recovered the bodies of 2 backcountry skiers who died in avalanches in western Wyoming. Officials in Grand Teton National Park say rangers on Monday recovered the body of 30-year-old Nick Gillespie from a canyon in the north end of Grand Teton. Meanwhile, in Sublette County, a search and rescue team on Monday recovered the body of 28-year-old Elizabeth "Liza" Gray Benson from the Bondurant area. Both avalanche victims were from Jackson. They were caught in small avalanches while skiing Sunday afternoon. The avalanches occurred as a storm brought several inches of fresh snow to the region. They were the first avalanche deaths in the area so far this winter.
