The Department of Foreign Affairs is working to confirm reports that a Sydney man died in an avalanche at a US ski resort.
Dave Hannagan, 46, was killed in a hazardous out-of-bounds area of the Jackson Hole Mountain resort in Wyoming on Sunday afternoon, according to local media reports.
A 36-year-old American woman who was believed to have been travelling with the Bondi real-estate agent was also killed, sports media website Teton Gravity Research reported.
Australian officials were working with local authorities to confirm Mr Hannagan's death, a DFAT spokeswoman said on Tuesday.
"We stand ready to provide consular assistance, should it be required," she said.
