ANCHORAGE \u2014 Searchers have found the body of a snowmobiler who was caught in an avalanche in Alaska\u2019s interior.<\/p>\n

Alaska State Troopers say they were notified shortly after noon Tuesday that the body of 38-year-old Russel Linzner of Fairbanks had been recovered. Troopers say Linzner\u2019s body was found buried 5- to-7 feet below the surface.<\/p>\n

Troopers were notified Monday evening by a snowmobiler with Linzner\u2019s party. The caller said Linzner was believed to have been buried by the avalanche in the mountains near Summit Lake.<\/p>\n

Troopers say the closest responders were two hours away and troopers would not have been able to make it to the scene until after dark, which they say would make a search highly dangerous in the avalanche-vulnerable area.<\/p>\n

According to troopers, the body is being transported to the state medical examiner\u2019s office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
