Tahoe Ski Tragedy Deepens: Two More Fatalities Reported
Two more people died Friday in unrelated incidents at Heavenly Resort near Lake Tahoe, adding to a Sierra winter that already claimed nine lives in the Castle Peak avalanche last week. The deaths involved a 33-year-old man skiing on an intermediate trail and a 58-year-old man in a medical emergency; authorities say the cases are unrelated, under investigation, and the names have not been released.
