The good news & the bad.

The University of Wyoming has lost a beloved professor. On Thursday, March 17th, Ecosystem Science and Management instructor Professor Jay Norton, 61, lost his life while skiing in Northern Wyoming.

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are down to the their own final four. The Eastern Conference Finals and Western Conference Finals are taking place this week in the NHL and as that is taking place, there has also been a list released of the best cities for hockey fans. Just because southeast Wyoming doesn't have a professional or college hockey team, don't think we shouldn't have a place on that list.

Ball Arena is bound to be rocking when both the Avs and the Nuggets return home this postseason for their championship push.

If you've ever had the pleasure of riding a snowmobile, you know there are few things in life that are more fun than that. If you've ridden in the backcountry of Wyoming, you also understand the avalanche danger. One Wyoming snowmobiler has shared video and his story about an avalanche he was caught up in, but lived to tell the tale.

Officials say that the recent winter storm has created perfect avalanche conditions in the area.

A harrowing video out of Big Sky, Montana shows how fast the snow can turn on you if you're skiing the backcountry. One skier recently accidentally caused a massive avalanche and the moment it happened was captured on video.

The companion was uninjured and called 911 when he heard his partner calling for help.

Avalanche forecasters rated the danger high this weekend.

Watching these at-home avalanches will remind you what a wet winter feels like.
