A California ski resort near Lake Tahoe reopened Thursday, a day after an avalanche roared down a steep section of the mountain, killing a 66-year-old skier in the first U.S. avalanche death of the winter.
Palisades Tahoe's iconic KT-22 lift, which serves the area where the snowslide hit, was to remain closed while crews worked to clear a road to enable snowcats and snowmobiles to enter the section of mostly expert runs.
The Sierra Avalanche Center's forecast for the central Sierra backcountry predicted continuing dangerous avalanche conditions Thursday.
