A Utah County search crew rappelled into a 40-foot-deep cavern of snow this weekend to rescue a dog that fell through an opening in the ceiling.
The cavern formed last week after an avalanche deposited a 40-foot mound of snow at the base of Stewart Falls, near Sundance Ski Resort in Provo Canyon. Warmth from the flowing water melted the snow mound from below, leaving the large chamber under the snow’s surface, Utah County sheriff’s deputies wrote in a press release.
The dog, named Beeroo, was with its owner near the waterfall when it wandered off, deputies wrote.
