A San Jose State University student was found dead at Northstar California Resort on Thursday, marking the third skier killed in two weeks at the Tahoe ski slope.

Colin Kang, 21, went skiing around noon on Tuesday, according to a social media post from the SJSU Ski and Snowboard team. He was last seen near the Martis Camp Express, the post said, a ski lift which connects to the advanced Martis Trail.

The Sierra has been battered by snowstorms this week, raising the risk of avalanches in the backcountry. A large avalanche struck a group of 15 skiers near Truckee on Tuesday, killing eight. Kang was not a part of that group.

The Placer County Sheriff’s office received a report of a possible missing person at around 11 p.m. Wednesday, the department said in a statement. The sheriff’s office did not announce his name, but spokesperson Elise Soviar confirmed that Kang was the missing person.

Deputies found Kang’s car in the Northstar parking lot and began a search. The Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue Team was activated early Thursday morning, according to the sheriff’s department, deploying 15 skiers, a snowcat and two snowmobilers. Northstar Ski Patrol members also assisted in the effort.

The search party found Kang’s body at 9 a.m. on Thursday. Authorities have not yet released additional information about his injuries. Northstar’s parent company, Vail Resorts, did not immediately return a request for comment.

“Based on the investigation, it was determined he had gone skiing and did not return as expected,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

Kang’s death comes after Stuart McLaughlin, 53, of Hillsborough, was killed at the resort Sunday morning. Nicholas Kenworthy, 26, of Los Angeles, died after an accident on Northstar’s Martis Trail, considered one of the resort’s most challenging runs, on Feb. 12.
