He says they wore avalanche beacons, and the man was able to dig her out and then revive her with CPR.
Hoyal says Malloy was taken to University Hospital in serious condition with head injuries. The man escaped injury.
The avalanche danger was rated "moderate" to "considerable" Sunday in Utah's mountains after recent heavy snowfall.
