Nevada County Sheriff Shannan Moon identified the victims during a press conference and noted that the search isn’t over yet.

I’m not going to say our recovery mission is complete until all of our responders and folks that have really done an incredible job over the last several days are home back at the office.

Among them were members of our guiding team: Andrew Alissandratos, Niki Choo, and Mike Henry; skilled professionals, colleagues, and friends whose passion for the mountains shaped who we are.
