Men free moose buried in avalanche

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A moose buried by an avalanche had its luck changed by three men passing on snowmobiles. Marty Mobley, Rob Uphus and Avery Vunichich were on an outing Dec. 28 at Hatcher Pass when they passed a hillside that had ski and moose tracks. When they returned an hour later, an avalanche had covered the tracks. Mobley said he saw something move in the debris, and it was a snout. After 10 minutes of digging, the moose stood and ran off.
