Two skiers saved another man's life after they found him buried in deep snow on a Lake Tahoe mountain just one day after the horrific avalanche that killed nine people. A group of 15 backcountry skiers were buried by an avalanche near Castle Peak in California's Nevada County near Lake Tahoe on February 17. One day later, two skiers were filmed rescuing another man they found cover in snow at the nearby Palisades Ski Resort. The Daily Mail contacted Palisades Ski Resort for more information. Just days later, two more skiers were killed in the Lake Tahoe area, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
