WHITE PASS, Wash. — A man skiing out of bounds was killed in an avalanche outside the White Pass Ski Resort.

The man, identified as 31-year-old Adam Roberts, had been skiing with a friend outside the boundaries of the resort late Tuesday.

The two split up and took different routes. At some point, Roberts triggered an avalanche, the resort said.
