The Utah County Sheriff\u2019s Office said they received a call from the skiers near Pfeifferhorn peak around 11 a.m. local time on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said no one was buried, but two of the men suffered serious leg and ankle injuries in the avalanche. Wind and the possibility of another snow-slide pushed the rescue back a few hours, which led teams to drop care packages with necessary supplies.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Avalanche near Pfeifferhorn\/Peak above Alpine and Little Cottonwood Canyon. 4 people involved.
