Three other skiers were hospitalized following Saturday's avalanche near Leadville, Colo.

Rescue crews found the two skiers' bodies Sunday afternoon near Independence Pass, about 80 miles southwest of Denver, the Lake County Sheriff's Office said. Robert Lentz said his son, Justin Lentz of Portage, was one of those killed in the avalanche. The 32-year-old loved to ski and started when he was 5 or 6 years old, his father said. He said his son was "a good kid" who worked as an electrician and was engaged to be married. Another Portage man, Jarrard Law, 34, was also killed.

Law was an information-technology expert at the Necedah Area School District, where Superintendent Larry Gie-rach remembered him as an "incredible man." "Jarrard had great skills with people and was an integral part of our planning when it came to technology," Gierach said. Many staff members thought of him as a friend first and as a professional second, the superintendent said. The school district planned to make grief counselors available to faculty and students. Lentz and Law were close buddies who frequently went skiing, snowboarding and mountain biking together, said Joey Kindred, 28, who knew them both well. Kindred recalled how Lentz enjoyed competing with his friends with over-the-top snowboard tricks, even though he had a bad shoulder that popped out of its socket whenever he crashed.

"He'd fall down so often we'd call him Man Down," Kindred said. "He'd laugh, get up and do it again. And when his shoulder popped out he'd call over to his fiancee she's a nurse and she'd pop it back in." Law was always the life of a party, but he was happiest when he was in the outdoors or spending time with friends, Kindred said. Kindred had gone skiing and snowboarding with Lentz and Law in the past. He said the two had only skied at resorts in Colorado so they wouldn't have been familiar with the back country trails.

"I just wish I could have been with them to stop them from going down those lanes," said Kindred, who used to live in Colorado. Saturday's avalanche was the third deadly slide in Colorado in less than a week, authorities said Sunday. Susan Matthews, a spokeswoman for the Lake County Office of Emergency Management, said seven skiers on Star Mountain near Leadville triggered the latest slide around 5 p.m. Saturday. "They were found near Two Wisconsin skiers were killed Saturday following an avalanche near Independence Pass, about 80 miles southwest of Denver, associated press Today's spring primary election will set the stage for the April 1 spring election.

"The terrain there is extremely steep." Three skiers were hospitalized with injuries that included a broken leg, a broken ankle and a possible broken rib and collapsed lung. One has since been released from the hospital.

Brian Lazar, deputy director of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, said recent storms that have dumped up to 6 feet of snow in some parts of Colorado's mountains have left most of the mountains in a "historic avalanche cycle."

Kowalski Gannett Wisconsin Media SHIOCTON Another one of a group of sick horses moved from Rosholt to Shiocton has died, according to a Shiocton farm owner who is caring for some of the animals. The horse, named Dolce, died Sunday at its owner's home in Medford. It is the second horse to die among a group that had come down with a disease called strangles, a situation that has attracted the attention of animal advocates trying to raise money for their care.

Ten horses had been moved from a farm in Rosholt in Portage County andlef in Shiocton, in Outagamie County. Dolce was among three that had been returned to their owners' residences after they fell ill. The remainder of the surviving horses still are on the Shiocton farm, said its owner, Kelly Radtke.

The snow has fallen on top of weak layers in the snowpack. "A little snow or wind or the extra weight of a person in the wrong place could trigger an avalanche," Lazar said. He said Saturday's avalanche was at least a 3.5 on an intensity scale that goes from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most destructive. The avalanche snapped several mature trees as it rumbled down the slope. "It's breaking trees that have been there a long time," Lazar said.

"This is a good indication that avalanches are running bigger than they have."

A veterinarian quarantined the horses so that other horses on the farm don't get sick. Radtke called Outagamie County sheriff's deputies Jan. 27 to file a complaint about the horses and their condition, and about being stuck with the costs of their care.

Sheriff's Department Capt. Mike Jobe said investigators found no signs of neglect, and said the situation was primarily a civil matter between Radtke and LuMaye. B.C.
