Douglas County's Sheriff's Search and Rescue personnel have been called out to aid searchers on Mount Rose who are looking for someone who could be buried in snow after an avalanche occurred today on the Slide Mountain side of Mt. Rose, just south of Incline Village.
A Mt. Rose Ski Patrol official said there is on set of foot tracks headed toward the avalanche site, but none leading away. Furthermore, patrollers have not received any type of transceiver signal coming from beneath the snow.
Mt. Rose and Washoe County Search and Rescue personnel are on the scene and approaching the avalanche site on snowshoes. Rescue dogs are sniffing the area, and personnel are probing the snow, looking for any potential victims.
