Alta, WY – A skier who wandered just a bit too far beyond a closure rope was killed at Grand Targhee Resort on Sunday afternoon when a cornice collapsed beneath his feet.

The Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center reports that Ernesto Rodriguez-Becerra, 30, a native of Mexico and living in Jackson, Wyo., clicked out of his bindings and walked out of bounds under a closed boundary ropeline to take a picture near the top of Targhee’s Dreamcatcher lift. He proceed onto a cornice when he broke through and fell onto the slope below.

This triggered an avalanche that carried Rodriguez-Becerra over a very large cliff. He was found by a Grand Targhee avalanche dog, buried two feet deep in the debris below the cliff. Rodriguez-Becerra had already died of trauma sustained in the incident.
