内华达县警长香南·穆恩周六在新闻发布会上表示,加利福尼亚州内华达山脉的所有9名雪崩遇难者均已被找到。

周六,一架”黑鹰”直升机飞往本周发生致命雪崩的多雪山地区,随后找到了这些遇难者的遗体。8名遇难者于周二被发现,但由于恶劣天气及再次发生雪崩的威胁,救援人员一直无法安全地从大致相当于一个足球场大小的雪崩现场回收遗体。

警长称,搜救人员最终于周五夜间成功找回5具遗体,其余4具于周六上午被找到。

在遇难者中,有6名为亲密好友且经验丰富的滑雪者女性,以及3名专业向导。此次行程中另有6人在雪崩中幸存,这是美国自1981年以来最致命的雪崩事件。

穆恩警长周六正式确认了遇难者身份:34岁的内华达州沃尔迪居民安德鲁·阿里桑德拉萨托斯(Andrew Alissandratos);42岁的南太浩湖居民妮可·乔(Nicole Choo);以及30岁的加利福尼亚州苏打泉居民迈克尔·亨利(Michael Henry)。这三人均为黑鸟山向导。

另外6名遇难者身份如下:

  • 46岁的加利福尼亚州苏打泉居民凯莉·阿特金(Carrie Atkin)
  • 52岁的爱达荷州博伊西居民伊丽莎白·克拉博(Lizabeth Clabaugh)
  • 44岁的加利福尼亚州苏打泉和拉克斯珀居民丹妮尔·基特利(Danielle Keatley)
  • 45岁的加利福尼亚州苏打泉和蒂布龙居民凯特·莫尔斯(Kate Morse)
  • 45岁的加利福尼亚州苏打泉和旧金山居民卡罗琳·塞卡尔(Caroline Sekar)
  • 43岁的加利福尼亚州格林布拉夫居民凯瑟琳·维特(Katherine Vitt)

穆恩警长在确认遇难者身份时表示:”任何语言都无法真正表达这次损失的严重性,我们与受这场灾难性事件影响的家庭一同哀悼。这场事件的沉重影响笼罩着许多家庭、朋友和同事,在这个艰难时刻,我们与他们并肩站在一起。”

该雪崩现场的临时飞行限制(禁止无人机和所有其他未经授权的飞行器进入该区域)已延长至周日下午5点。

官员周五表示,他们正在该区域使用水来破坏积雪,作为雪崩缓解工作的一部分。这种技术旨在有意释放不稳定的积雪,以降低救援人员进入时的风险。

缓解和搜救工作包括加利福尼亚高速公路巡逻队空中行动、内华达县警长搜救队、塔霍北欧搜救队、太平洋天然气与电力公司、内华达雪崩中心等机构。

All 9 avalanche victims recovered from California’s Sierra Nevada, sheriff says

Updated on: February 21, 2026 / 6:48 PM EST / CBS/AP

All nine avalanche victims have been recovered from California’s Sierra Nevada, Nevada County Sheriff Shannan Moon said Saturday at a news conference.

The bodies were recovered after a Black Hawk helicopter on Saturday flew to the snowy, mountainous region where a fatal avalanche struck this week. Eight of the victims were found on Tuesday, but brutal weather and the threat of more avalanches had kept crews from safely recovering the bodies from the avalanche, which was roughly the size of a football field.

Search crews eventually were able to recover five of the bodies on Friday night, and the remaining four were recovered Saturday morning, the sheriff said.

Among those who died were six women who were close friends and experienced skiers, along with three professional guides. Six others on the trip survived the avalanche, the deadliest in the U.S. since 1981.

Sheriff Moon formally identified the victims Saturday as Andrew Alissandratos, 34, of Verdi, Nevada; Nicole Choo, 42, of South Lake Tahoe; and Michael Henry, 30, of Soda Springs, California. Those three were Blackbird Mountain guides.

The six others killed were identified as Carrie Atkin, 46, of Soda Springs, California; Lizabeth Clabaugh, 52, of Boise, Idaho; Danielle Keatley, 44, of Soda Springs and Larkspur, California; Kate Morse, 45, of Soda Springs and Tiburon, California; Caroline Sekar, 45, of Soda Springs and San Francisco, California; and Katherine Vitt, 43, of Greenbrae, California.

“There are no words that truly capture the significance of this loss and our hearts mourn alongside the families of those affected by this catastrophic event,” Moon said as she identified the victims. “The weight of this event is felt across many families, friends, and colleagues, and we stand together with them during this difficult time.”

A temporary flight restriction over the site of the avalanche, which bars drones and all other unauthorized aircraft from flying in the area, was extended to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Officials said on Friday that they were using water to break up the snow in the area as avalanche mitigation work, a technique that is designed to intentionally release unstable snowpack to reduce the risk when rescue crews go in.

The mitigation and search efforts have included California Highway Patrol air operations, Nevada County Sheriff’s search and rescue, Tahoe Nordic search and rescue, the utility company Pacific Gas & Electric, the Sierra avalanche center and others.
