雪崩吞噬三名滑雪者
The deaths of three people in two Colorado avalanches since Friday have experts warning those headed to the mountainous backcountry to be careful and pay attention to forecasts.
自周五以来，科罗拉多州发生了两起雪崩，造成三人死亡，专家警告前往偏远山区的人们要小心，注意天气预报。
A rescue team on Sunday recovered the bodies of two skiers caught in an avalanche a day earlier near Ophir Pass in southwestern Colorado's San Juan Mountains, the San Juan County Office of Emergency Management said.
圣胡安县应急管理办公室说，一个救援小组周日在科罗拉多州西南部圣胡安山脉的奥斐山口附近发现了一天前遭遇雪崩的两名滑雪者的尸体。
Albert Perry, 55, and Dr. Jeff Paffendorf, 51, both of nearby Durango, were reported missing after heading out for a ski trip north of Silverton, a former mining town and recreational hub nestled in the mountains, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center.
55岁的阿尔伯特·佩里和51岁的杰夫·帕芬多夫博士都在附近的杜兰戈被报告失踪，据科罗拉多雪崩信息中心报道，两人在前往西弗顿北部滑雪时失踪，西弗顿曾是一座矿业小镇和娱乐中心，坐落在山区。
Their deaths were the second and third of the ski season.
他们是滑雪季开始以来的第二和第三起事故了。
The first was on Friday when a skier was buried in an avalanche in the Anthracite Range west of the ski resort town of Crested Butte, the center said.
该中心称，第一起事故发生在周五，在滑雪胜地克雷斯蒂·巴特以西的无烟煤山脉，一名滑雪者被雪崩掩埋。
Center director Ethan Greene said Sunday that 132 avalanches have been reported since Friday and that Colorado's snowpack is the weakest it has been since 2012.
滑雪中心主任格林周日时说，自星期五以来，已经报告了132起雪崩，这是2012年以来科罗拉多州积雪最薄的一年。
“People need to recognize we have unusual conditions and their usual practices may not keep them out of harm’s way. As we gain more snow in the coming weeks, avalanches could become even more dangerous,” he said.
“人们需要认识到我们有异常的情况，他们的常规做法可能不会让他们远离伤害。随着未来几周降雪量的增加，雪崩可能变得更加危险。”他说。
On Monday, the center rated the avalanche danger in all of Colorado's mountain zones as considerable, the middle ranking in its warning system, below extreme and high.
周一，该中心将科罗拉多州所有山区的雪崩危险评级为相当高，在预警系统中排名中等，低于极端和高度预警。
Snowfall in the mountains is below average so far.
到目前为止，山区的降雪量仍低于平均水平。
Avalanches lately have been mostly small — though easy to trigger — but their size is expected to grow as more snow rolls in, the center said in a warning.
该中心在警告中说，最近雪崩的规模大多较小——尽管很容易引发——但随着降雪的增多，雪崩的规模预计会扩大。
