By Benjamin Spillman, Reno Gazette-Journal
An avalanche swept up five people, including one who was seriously injured, at a Lake Tahoe-area ski resort on Friday.
The avalanche happened at 1:40 p.m. at Squaw Valley Resort, less than five hours after searchers recovered the body of a snowboarder who had gone missing late Thursday during a blizzard.
According to the resort five guests, two female and three male, were caught in the inbounds slide near the Olympic Lady chairlift.
