Multiple victims in the Sierra Nevada avalanche had ties to the Sugar Bowl Academy, a private, ski-focused school located several miles from where at least eight people died, the program said Wednesday night.

Officials with the school in Norden, Calif., said they were not releasing the names or details of the people who went on the three-day expedition.
