From Palisades Tahoe Instagram :

Yesterday’s tragedy was incredibly difficult for our community. Our heartfelt condolences are extended to all who suffered loss and trauma resulting from this incident. To the 100+ ski patrollers, avalanche rescue dog teams, lift operators, mountain sports school instructors, local agencies, and members of the public who swiftly jumped into action, and the teams that provided coffee & food to first responders -- thank you x 1,000. Your efforts were remarkable.

It is times like this that show just how deeply we care for one another. Not just at Palisades Tahoe, but in the ski community as a whole. There is comfort in knowing that we can support one another through the worst days.

Our thoughts and prayers to all involved.
