A near disaster was averted at a Lake Tahoe resort when two skiers heroically rescued a man trapped beneath the snow.

On February 18, at Palisades Tahoe resort in California, a dramatic video captured two skiers as they descended the slopes and spotted a pair of skis protruding from the snow, alongside a hand barely visible gripping a pole.

“We stopped for some reason and just happened to notice the ski tips in the whiteout. Thankfully, we did,” recounted Carson Schmidt, who shared the video of the incident.

The original group of 15 had set out on Tuesday to return from a 3 day trip in hopes of escaping the winter storm that pummeled the area.

All nine victims, including six “supermoms” who were clients of Blackbird Mountain Guides, were recovered from the mountain over the weekend.

“There are no words that truly capture the significance of this loss and our hearts mourn alongside the families of those affected by this catastrophic event,” said Nevada County Sheriff Shannan Moon said at the press conference about the recovery. “The weight of this event is felt across many families, friends, and colleagues, and we stand together with them during this difficult time.”
