NOME, Alaska—Two snowmachine riders in western Alaska were found dead a day after they were reported overdue and a storm hampered search efforts, authorities said.

Alaska State Troopers identified the riders as Charlene Habros, 34, and Dustin Gologergen, 55, both of Nome. Troopers, the Alaska National Guard, and Nome search and rescue were working to recover the bodies Wednesday, troopers spokesperson Austin McDaniel said by email.
