Rescuers have recovered the bodies of eight skiers, with one still missing, after a group of 15 tourists was hit by an avalanche, marking the deadliest avalanche in the US in more than four decades.
The avalanche hit the Castle Peak area of Truckee, California, about 10 miles (16 km) north of Lake Tahoe, at around 11:30 a.m. local time on Tuesday.
Authorities were still searching for nine missing people on Wednesday morning local time, but have since confirmed eight deaths and one missing.
"Eight of the nine skiers have been found dead," said Nevada County Sheriff Shannan Moon.
"We are still looking for one of the members at this time."
Moon said "terrible conditions" and the risk of further avalanches had hampered rescue efforts.
