Avalanche Hits Bus after Sierra Gets Up to 2 Feet of Snow

An avalanche near Alpine Meadows ski resort struck a bus Thursday morning and pushed it 30 feet into a house after a storm passing through the Sierra brought nearly two feet of snow to resorts across the region, officials said Thursday.

The avalanche hit the bus traveling on Alpine Meadows Road in North Lake Tahoe, said Ron Carson, a spokesman with the North Tahoe Fire Protection District. No one was injured in the incident.
