A sad thing happened near Castle Peak. A big snow slide killed eight skiers. One person is still missing. This happened on Tuesday.
Eight bodies were found. They were under much snow. The skiers were a group of fifteen. Six other skiers were saved. They are safe now. The snow slide was very big. It happened in the morning.
Police are looking into this. Lots of snow fell fast. It was hard to find people. More snow fell after. This made the area unsafe. It was a very bad situation.
The bodies of eight people are still in the snow. It is too dangerous to move them. They will be moved later. They are still looking for the ninth skier. They think this person also died.
This sad event has hurt many people. A rescue worker lost their wife. The sheriff is very sorry for the families. The families know about their loved ones.
Skiing in mountains can be dangerous. People must be safe. We do not know why the group was there. Nature is very strong. They are still looking for the last skier. The town is very sad.
