A popular Tahoe ski resort has been sued by a man involved in a fatal avalanche last year.
Kaley Bloom was skiing with his friend Cole Comstock on the morning of Jan. 17, 2020 at Alpine Meadows Ski Resort. According to the suit, the pair were on an open, in-bound ski run near Scott Chute when an avalanche tore through the area. Bloom "watched as his friend Cole got caught up and overtaken," the complaint, filed in Placer County Superior Court, claims.
Comstock, 34, died of his injuries. A
Plumas News story published shortly after his death says he suffered head trauma after hitting a tree. Comstock's wife, Caitlin, said Bloom had injuries to his lower body. The suit alleges Bloom now has "severe and permanent lower-body injuries."
