Skier Killed In Avalanche At Squaw Valley

SQUAW VALLEY (AP) ― Friends are mourning the death of a 21-year-old skier killed in an avalanche at the Squaw Valley ski resort on Christmas Day.

Tahoe City resident Randall Davis had been skiing in heavily wooded expert terrain Thursday morning when he and a partner got separated.

Davis' companion summoned the resort's ski patrol, which found a single ski protruding from a fresh avalanche field. Search dogs and electronic tracking devices led the rescue team to Davis, who was found dead under several feet of snow.

The Placer County Sheriff's Department says Davis was an experienced skier who had been riding the slopes at Squaw Valley since he was a child. There were blizzard conditions and high winds in the area Thursday morning.
