SACRAMENTO, Calif. _ A second avalanche death was reported at a Lake Tahoe-area ski resort Tuesday as heavy snow continued to fall in the Sierra Nevada and cold rain drenched the Sacramento Valley late Christmas Day.
Bill Foster, 53, a veteran member of the Alpine Meadows ski patrol team, died at Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno after being caught in an intentionally triggered avalanche Monday, the ski area said in a news release.
“Bill … was one of Alpine Meadows’ very best and most experienced professional ski patrollers,” with 28 years on the job, the ski resort’s statement said.
