8 Skiers Dead, 6 Rescued, 1 Still Missing After CA Avalanche

Authorities say the bodies of 8 backcountry skiers have been found and 1 remains missing after an avalanche near Lake Tahoe in California. Search and rescue crews were dispatched to the Castle Peak area of the Sierra Nevada after a 911 call reporting an avalanche had buried 15 skiers. Six of them have been found alive. Heavy snow and the threat of additional avalanches continues to slow the rescue effort Wednesday in the mountains near Castle Peak, northwest of Lake Tahoe.
