JACKSON, Wyo. — A 24-year-old North Iowa man and Austin native was killed in a weekend avalanche while snowmobiling in northwestern Wyoming.

Teton County officials say Taylor Bruggeman of Saint Ansgar died Sunday afternoon near Togwotee Pass in the Bridger-Teton National Forest.

The Jackson Hole News & Guide said Bruggeman was snowmobiling with two friends at the time.

Sheriff’s Lt. Matt Carr says Bruggeman’s riding partners saw him get buried and could see part of his snowmobile, but couldn’t find him.

One of the friends stayed to dig while the other one rode about 30 minutes to where he could get cell service.

Bruggeman worked for Heartland Power in Saint Ansgar.

Services will be held Saturday at St. Peter Lutheran Church in Toeterville, Iowa.
