is there a safety protocol to open runs at tahoe resorts? >> i can't speak specifically to the protocols that palisades operates under to identify what the safest conditions are to open a run like that are, but ski patrol's main duty and what their main goal is to balance opening as many runs as they can while keeping it safe enough for the general public to operate within. they have many tools in their tool belt to operate this way. and like the interview said previously, dropping explosives in this region as well as artillery and those sorts of thing mitigate the risk of avalanche danger. >> and we should say this is part of the deal as skiers. this is always a risk, especially in treacherous weather. with this is your expertise, how long do crews actually have to reach a skier buried in an avalanche? is it minutes? 30 minutes or an hour? >> it really depends. the two main things that possible victims face in these sorts of incidents when an avalanche occurs include trauma caused by the snow sliding through obstacles such as trees or cliff

now take a look at palisades tahoe where it is. let's talk about what possible factors may have contributed. so the sierra snowpack right now in the central sierra is 38% of average. you've got multiple layers here. typically you have a bed layer a weak layer and a slab layer. now with the snowpack not very built up, any precipitation on top of that wind temperature changes can really impact it. so let's take a look at the factors. those are the factors. and humans can trigger an avalanche. as snowboarders and skiers go down the slopes. at the time there were powerful wind gusts nearby about 100 plus miles an hour. one thing to consider is safety. wearing perhaps an avalanche beacon, especially as we're getting more and more snow up in the mountains. at the time of the accident, it was light snow. as you look at the radar taking you back in time, but it was gusty and the snow has been picking up steadily tonight. winter storm warning until 1 a.m. tomorrow. up to 18in for the peaks with those gusty winds. snow level dropping to 2500
