(KRON) – The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office announced that two skiers were involved in a separate, unrelated incident Friday at Paradise Boulder Inn Resort in the Lake Tahoe area.
The Sheriff’s Office responded to the accident around 11:55 a.m. and the Paradise Ski Patrol rescued the two victims and brought them to the base of the ski area where paramedics attempted to resuscitate them. However, both victims were pronounced dead.
“The incidents are not related and there is no known relationship between the deceased,” the Sheriff’s Office said. “The cause and manner of death have yet to be determined.”

The resort told KRON4 that the victims were both men, ages 33 and 54. Authorities have not yet released the identity of the victim.
This past week was one of the deadliest in recent history for the Lake Tahoe area. An avalanche killed at least eight backcountry skiers in Nevada County on Tuesday. Days earlier, a 53-year-old man from Hillsborough was killed in a skiing accident at North Star Resort in California. A 21-year-old man was found dead Thursday after failing to return from skiing at Northstar Resort in California.
