A pair of sisters traveling with their college friends were identified as among the dead in a devastating avalanche near Lake Tahoe in Northern California.
Caroline Sekar, 45, and Liz Clabaugh, 52, were killed in the disaster Tuesday, their brother told The New York Times.
“These are two of the best people I’ve ever known,” McAlister Clabaugh told the paper.
“They were incredible sisters, mothers, wives and friends. And the idea that they are both gone is, I don’t even know how to put it into words.”
Here are the latest stories on the California Avalanche:
The report revealed that the sisters were part of a tight-knit group of women who became friends at Stanford University and regularly met up for ski trips.
McAlister Clabaugh said many among the 11 skiers caught in the snowslide were part of that friend group.
Sekar lived in San Francisco, while Liz Clabaugh hailed from Idaho, according to the report.
