1 person is dead after an avalanche struck near Lake Tahoe on the California side, and it was mainly caused by the dense snowpack on the mountain that day. Winter Storm Finn had dropped multiple feet of snow over the area, making it susceptible to an avalanche, and one was sparked by an unknown cause. The avalanche tumbled down the mountain, killing a 66 year-old skier, and a handful of others suffered minor injuries. It left a debris field 150 feet wide and 450 feet long with 10 inches of snow piled up, which shows the dangers of skiing after so much snow has fallen. The Palisades Tahoe resort, where it took place, closed the mountain for the rest of the day and launched intense search-and-rescue operations to make sure no others were caught in the avalanche.
