'High' risk of backcountry avalanches in Sierra this Saturday
The Sierra Avalanche Center is projecting a high risk for additional avalanches in the Tahoe Basin's backcountry areas this weekend after two avalanches at a ski resort. One of the avalanches happened at the Palisades Tahoe Resort's KT-22 chairlift, a site used as a type of testing ground for elite skiers. The first one left a 66-year-old man dead and three others caught in the snow needing rescue.
