Truckee Mourns Backcountry Skiers Killed in Avalanche Near Castle Peak
Truckee community mourns nine backcountry skiers lost in California's deadliest avalanche amid 15 total Tahoe slope deaths this year, officials said.
- On Sunday night, Truckee, California, hosted a candlelight vigil attended by hundreds to honor nine backcountry skiers killed in Tuesday's Castle Peak avalanche, the deadliest in modern California history.
- The avalanche struck on the last day of the group's three-day tour, sweeping a group of 15 skiers; survivors called for help around 11:30 a.m. amid whiteout/blizzard conditions that delayed rescue.
- Authorities deployed helicopters and utility crews to break up unstable snowpack and recover five victims Friday and four Saturday using helicopters and ropes amid severe winds.
- Families said they are devastated and asked for privacy, while Moon said, `We cannot say enough how tremendously sorry we are for the families that have been affected by this avalanche,` and officials pledged support for survivors.
- Investigators are scrutinizing why guides and the guide company did not cancel the trip, amid questions from families of the victims and 15 deaths this year, as terrain remains closed until mid-March.
