An avalanche on Castle Peak near Lake Tahoe killed nine backcountry skiers on Tuesday, striking the group's final day of a three-day tour.

Intense snowfall and whiteout conditions made initial extraction too dangerous and postponed recovery efforts for several days.

Using helicopters, controlled releases to break unstable snow, ropes and snowcats, crews recovered all nine bodies by Saturday with help from state agencies, the National Guard, PG&E and 42 volunteers.

The fatalities include three Blackbird Mountain guides and six women from a close-knit friend group, and the Tahoe National Forest has closed the terrain until mid-March.

"This was an enormous tragedy, and the saddest event our team has ever experienced," Blackbird Mountain founder Zeb Blais said Wednesday in a statement. "We are doing what we can to support the families who lost so much," he said, "and the members of our team who lost treasured friends and colleagues."— Zeb Blais, founder of Blackbird Mountain, in a statement on Wednesday

Key FactsSierra Nevada Avalanche Under Probe

Feb 20, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: reuters.com

Nevada County investigators are conducting a parallel probe into whether criminal negligence contributed to the avalanche and caution that the inquiry remains in preliminary stages.

A football-field-sized slide struck a 15-person guided backcountry group near Truckee during a three-day trip, killing at least eight and leaving a ninth presumed dead.

Three of the four Blackbird guides were among the fatalities, while six survivors used emergency beacons and sheltered under improvised tarpaulin to communicate their location to rescuers.

Avalanche centers and experts warned that a massive recent storm had created a weak, overloaded snowpack, and investigators urged patience as complex probes can take several weeks.

The main thing here is not to rush to judgment. The worst thing to do is to blame or shame before the facts are known.
— Frank Carus, director of the Bridger-Teton National Forest Avalanche Center, commenting on the investigation into possible criminal negligence in the California avalanche deaths.
