The Nevada Sheriff’s Office has confirmed in a press conference today, February 21, that all nine bodies from the Castle Peak avalanche in California have been recovered. The recovery of the bodies was completed on Saturday morning, however, Sheriff Shannan Moon emphasized, “I am going not say our recovery mission is complete until all our responders […] are home.”

An avalanche on Tuesday morning, February 17, near the Frog Lake huts outside Truckee, swept away a group of 15. The group had been guided by Blackbird Mountain Guides and had been on a three-day expedition in Tahoe’s backcountry. While six of the members of the group survived, nine perished.

Sheriff Moon identified the nine victims as three mountain guide and six guests. The details about the victims’ identities are as follows:



Andrew Allisandratos, 34, Birdeye, NV Blackbird Mountain Guide

Michael Henry, 30, Tampa, FL, Blackbird Mountain Guide

Nicole Chu, 42, South Lake Tahoe, CA, Blackbird Mountain Guide

Carrie Atkin, 46, Soda Springs, CA

Elizabeth Clabaugh, 52, Boise Idahoe

Danielle Keatley 44, Soda Springs, CA

Kate Morse, 45, Soda Springs, CA

Caroline Sekar, 45 Soda Springs, CA

Katherine Vitt, Greenbay, CA





Moon expressed her condolences to the victims’ families and friends. “While we wish we could have saved them all, we are grateful we can bring them home,” she said during the press conference.

The extraction of the victims was a lengthy and difficult mission, as records by Lt Dennis Haack of the Nevada Sheriff’s Office and flight paramedic Chad Wayland highlighted. Due to inclement weather, avalanche mitigation work was delayed. It took until Friday for all work to be completed before crews could safely extract the bodies. According to Lt. Haack, five of the bodies were recovered on Friday while the remaining were airlifted out on Saturday morning. The ninth body was found close to the remaining group.

Sheriff Moon did not speculate on the reasons the group chose the way out of the valley but confirmed that according to current information by the surviving members, it was decided to leave early to avoid getting caught in an avalanche. Investigation into the exact causes and reasons behind the incident are ongoing. The avalanche is the deadliest in California’s modern state history.
