A skier was killed near Powderhouse Peak in California east of Sacramento, according to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office, a day after a couple in Central Oregon was found dead after being caught in a separate avalanche.

On Monday, the California victim was reported overdue to El Dorado County's dispatch, police said. The skier was later found dead by friends in an avalanche area about 114 miles northeast of Stockton

Dangerous snow conditions caused the recovery to be delayed until Tuesday morning. At 5 p.m. Tuesday, the victim's body was recovered after further avalanche danger was mitigated, police said.

"The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office wishes to remind everyone to be safe and exercise caution when recreating in the outdoors," the sheriff's office said in a statement.

The victim's identity will not be released at this time, police said.

A day later, a couple in Central Oregon was found dead after being caught in an avalanche while skiing Tuesday.

"I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of the couple who lost their lives in the avalanche while enjoying the Central Oregon backcountry," said Deschutes County Sheriff Kent van der Kamp in a statement. "Their long history in our community and the lives they touched are a testament to the spirit and resilience that make Central Oregon such a special place to live."

The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office responded to the avalanche burial near Broken Top, Oregon, around eight hours north of Stockton, the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. Two bodies were recovered at the scene.

Authorities believe the couple was skiing when the avalanche occurred, according to the Central Oregon Avalanche Center.

"We extend our deepest condolences to all who loved the couple who tragically lost their lives while doing what they loved," the center wrote in a statement. "As longtime residents of Central Oregon, they have touched many lives, and their legacy will continue to live on in our community."

The victim's identities will not be released at this time, police said.
