Two skiers died in separate, unrelated accidents at the Heavenly Boulder Lodge resort in the Lake Tahoe area Friday, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office announced.
The sheriff’s office responded to the accidents around 11:55 a.m. The Heavenly Ski Patrol recovered both victims and took them to the base of the ski slopes, where paramedics attempted to revive them. However, both victims were pronounced dead.
“The incidents are not connected, and there is no known relationship between the decedents,” the sheriff’s office said. “The cause and manner of death are pending.”

The victims were both men, ages 33 and 54, the resort told KRON4. Authorities have not publicly identified the victims at this time.
The past week is one of the deadliest in recent history for the Lake Tahoe region. On Tuesday, an avalanche killed at least eight backcountry skiers in Nevada County. Days earlier, a 53-year-old man from Hillsborough died in a skiing accident at the Northstar California Resort. On Thursday, a 21-year-old man was found dead after he failed to return from a ski outing at the Northstar California Resort.
