LOS ANGELES—Nine skiers were missing after an avalanche in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, but six others who had been stranded have since been rescued, authorities said.
The avalanche swept the Castle Peak area of Truckee, California, about 10 miles north of Lake Tahoe, at about 11:30 a.m. Pacific time on Tuesday, engulfing a group of skiers, according to a Facebook statement posted by the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office.
