Horrifying video shows snow engulfed huts where skiers stayed before deadly avalanche
NY Post
Horrifying new footage shows the lodges where a group of skiers were staying before they were struck by a huge avalanche.
The apocalyptical video, taken from a news helicopter, sees layers of snow completely engulfing Frog Lake huts on Castle Peak, near Truckee, on Friday afternoon.
Eight people were killed in the slide on Tuesday when the group tried to escape the massive winter storm. Another is still missing and presumed dead.
Footage obtained by KCRA showed the huts coated in snow covering their roofs and as high as first floor windows.
The clip also shows what is understood to be rescuers’ snowmobiles and snowcats parked outside the buildings as they worked to recover the bodies.
They appeared to have made tracks through the drift since arriving on Wednesday night, with some rescuers staying in the lodges during the operation.
