A severe avalanche in the Lake Tahoe region of California has resulted in ten skiers going missing, according to authorities. The avalanche was reported yesterday morning at Castle Peak in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, which has recently been experiencing harsh storms. A group of 16 skiers, including four guides, was affected by the avalanche, while at least six skiers are reported to have survived and are currently awaiting rescue. Rescue operations are actively searching for the missing skiers, with 46 members from emergency services involved in the efforts. However, the conditions remain extremely dangerous due to ongoing adverse weather, which has led to an avalanche warning still being in effect. The local sheriff's office has been coordinating rescue efforts and stresses the perilous nature of continuing the search under such conditions. The incident raises concerns about safety measures in place for winter sports enthusiasts, particularly in areas prone to avalanches. With worsening weather patterns attributed to climate change leading to heavy snowfall and unstable snowpack, the risks associated with skiing in such regions may necessitate a reevaluation of current protocols to ensure the safety of skiers and prevent such tragedies in the future.
