Advisory from the Mayor's Office of Ski Safety: Alpine Meadows resort reported an avalance that claimed the life of a young man who was swept away with several friends who were not injured during the event. Search and rescue personnel retrieved the body after a difficult climb to the location pointed out by his companions.
The slide occurred in off trail areas, not a regular run. It underscores the dangers that exist off groomed runs.
With the late winter snowfall, overly aggressive skiers can trigger slides that otherwise would not occur.
Maintain awareness of conditions in all areas ahead of time.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
