"A missing skier has been found dead at a Lake Tahoe resort - just days after eight were killed by an avalanche in the backcountry nearby. Colin Kang's body was discovered at the black diamond Sugar Pine Glade trail at Northstar California Resort on Thursday after he went missing around noon on Tuesday. The 21-year-old San Jose State University student was the third person to die at the site in the last two weeks, though details of the incident were unclear."
"Kang was reported missing by his college ski team at around 11pm on Wednesday. Cops found his car in the Northstar parking lot. The Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue Team deployed 15 skiers, a snowcat and two snowmobilers and found his body on the expert trail around 9am Thursday. Northstar California manager Tara Schoedinger said: "We are heartbroken by this loss. Our deepest sympathies are with his family and loved ones, and with the team members who had the privilege of working alongside him.""
A missing skier, 21-year-old San Jose State student Colin Kang, was found dead on the black diamond Sugar Pine Glade trail at Northstar California Resort after disappearing Tuesday around noon. Kang was reported missing by his college ski team late Wednesday; police located his car in the resort parking lot. The Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue Team deployed 15 skiers, a snowcat and two snowmobilers and found his body around 9am Thursday on an expert run. Northstar confirmed the fatality and expressed condolences. Two other deaths occurred at Northstar within two weeks: Stuart McLaughlin, 53, and Nicholas Kenworthy, 26. The discovery followed a massive Castle Peak avalanche that killed eight backcountry skiers amid a severe snowstorm.
