A pair of sisters traveling with their old college friends from Stanford University were identified as among at least eight dead in a devastating avalanche near Lake Tahoe in Northern California.
Caroline Sekar, 45, and Liz Clabaugh, 52, were killed in the disaster Tuesday, their brother told The New York Times.
“These are two of the best people I’ve ever known,” McAlister Clabaugh told the paper.
“They were incredible sisters, mothers, wives and friends. And the idea that they are both gone is, I don’t even know how to put it into words.”
Sekar’s mother-in-law confirmed her death when contacted by The Post, but declined further comment.
The New York Times report also revealed that the sisters were part of a tight-knit group of women who became friends at Stanford University and regularly met for ski trips.
McAlister Clabaugh said many among the 11 skiers caught in the snowslide were part of that friend group, according to the report. He didn’t return The Post’s request for comment.
Sekar lived in San Francisco, while Liz Clabaugh hailed from Idaho, records show.
The tragic reveal came shortly after Kate Vitt — a mom-of-two and a former vice president at SiriusXM — was the first avalanche victim to be publicly identified.
Vitt, a Boston College grad, had previously worked for the Pandora music streamer and Anthropologie clothing label, her LinkedIn revealed.
Other victims’ identities, however, remain publicly unknown as rescuers still toiled Thursday to remove their bodies from the remote Sierra Nevada mountain slope amid harsh weather and continued avalanche conditions.
The group of 15 skiers — four guides from Blackbird Mountain Guides along with 11 clients — were hit by a devastating avalanche Tuesday as they returned from a three-day backcountry trip.
At least eight were killed as the wall of snow struck them, with one more still missing and presumed dead, officials have said.
The victims included the spouse of a Tahoe-area search-and-rescue group member and a mother from Mill Valley, a wealthy Bay Area enclave, officials have said.
