"A 21-year-old San Jose State University student was found dead Thursday morning after he went missing while skiing at Northstar California Resort on Lake Tahoe's north shore. The death also came during a brutal storm that dumped more than 8 feet of snow on Lake Tahoe the surrounding region, the same storm that left measurable snowfall in the Santa Cruz Mountains."
"San Jose State student Colin Kang was last seen around noon Tuesday near the Martis Camp Express lift at the Truckee-area resort, according to a missing poster circulated on trees and online by the SJSU ski club and the Placer County Sheriff's Office. His car remained in the Northstar parking lot, and his phone had died before he was reported missing. Deputies received a report of a possible missing person around 11pm Wednesday and located Kang's vehicle in the resort lot."
