Hundreds of residents gathered in downtown Truckee, CA, on Sunday for a vigil in memory of the victims of the Castle Peak avalanche. The avalanche struck last Tuesday during a guided backcountry ski trip, killing nine people.

All nine victims were recovered over the weekend: Andrew Alissandratos, 34 (Blackbird Mountain Guide) Michael Henry, 30 (Blackbird Mountain Guide) Nicole Cho
