SQUAW VALLEY, CALIF. — A 21-year-old skier was killed during an avalanche at the Squaw Valley ski resort on Christmas Day, authorities said.
Tahoe City resident Randall Davis had been skiing in heavily wooded expert terrain Thursday morning when he and a partner became separated. Davis' companion summoned the Lake Tahoe resort's ski patrol, which found a ski protruding from a fresh avalanche field. Search dogs and electronic tracking devices led the rescue team to Davis, who was found dead under several feet of snow.
