Thank you to all who prayed for the victims of the Montana Avalanche.

Rescuers searched Monday through the remnants of a deadly avalanche, unsure whether more backcountry skiers were caught up in the slide in northwestern Montana.

Sunday’s avalanche tore down trees and left snow 20 to 25 feet deep. Two skiers were killed, and rescuers pursued reports that two others might have been caught.

The victims were identified Monday as Anthony Kollman, 19, of Kalispell, and David Gogolak, 36, of Whitefish.

Along with Kollman and Gogolak, witnesses were adamant they saw two other people caught up in the slide, Meehan said. As part of their search, deputies were checking cars parked overnight in the ski area to see whether anyone was unaccounted for, Meehan said.
