New details released in deadly Nevada County avalanche

The Sierra Avalanche Center has released new details about last week’s deadly avalanche in Nevada County that killed nine people. According to a summary report, 15 people were involved in the slide, which occurred Tuesday morning at Perrys Peak at an elevation of about 8,300 feet. Three people were not caught in the avalanche and were able to rescue three others who were buried in the snow. Investigators are still working to determine why the group was in the backcountry during a period of high avalanche danger. The nine victims, ranging in age from 30 to 52, included six skiers described by their families as mothers, wives and close friends. Three employees of Blackbird Mountain Guides — two men and one woman — were also killed and described by their employer as skilled professionals and colleagues. Hundreds gathered in downtown Truckee for a candlelight vigil to honor those who died. The U.S. Forest Service has since lifted the Castle Peak Avalanche Closure in the Tahoe National Forest, which had been enacted for public safety and to support search and rescue operations.
