A teen in Utah died Saturday after being buried under an avalanche for over an hour while snowmobiling with his father, who confessed "my strength availed nothing" in the race to save his son. Chase Adams, 18, and his father, Ben, were snowmobiling in Farmington Canyon, located about 20 miles north of Salt Lake City, when they were caught in an avalanche around 1:30 p.m., the Davis County Sheriff’s Office said. He deployed the airbag in his backpack, but it did not float as intended, according to the sheriff’s office. The avalanche, which was unintentionally triggered, buried Adams under at least six feet of snow, the Utah Avalanche Center said.
