(West Yellowstone, Mont.)– An avalanche in Montana has claimed the life of an Algona man. He’s identified as 30-year-old Bradie Becker.

Authorities say Becker had been snowmobiling Sunday west of Yellowstone National Park when the slide occurred. They say Becker had been snowmobiling with a group but became separated.

An avalanche air bag he was wearing had deployed, but efforts to resuscitate Becker were unsuccessful.
