TRUCKEE, Calif. -- A 26-year-old Los Angeles man has been identified as a skier who died near Lake Tahoe last week, authorities confirmed. Nicholas Kenworthy died Feb. 6 at the Northstar California Resort in Truckee, according to the Placer County Sheriff's Office. The resort confirmed the deadly incident, only describing it as a "skier incident on the advanced Martis Trail." Details on the type of accident or injuries sustained by Kenworthy were not available.

"A dry January, which is historically the wettest month of the year in California, has now eroded the gains made at the start of the year and forecasts currently show no major precipitation in the next two weeks," California Department of Weather Resources spokesperson Jason Ince wrote in a Jan. 30 news release.

Just a few minutes from Truckee, nestled mid-mountain at Northstar California Resort, is a fantasy-like Ritz-Carlton property many compare to Hogwarts. The hotel just completed a huge, intentional transformation, updating rooms into luxe pockets of comfort, and adding two Topgolf Swing Suites and pool cabanas, which become Veuve Clicquot Cabana Chalets in the wintertime. They also did some dining concept overhauls, including the classy Manzanita restaurant and panoramic Living Room Lodge, which feels like a giant cozy den.

For almost 50 years, streams of people have stepped through the restaurant's towering glass door into its light-filled threshold, where a series of polished wooden steps unfolds, leading to the dining room with its walls of windows and the brass-topped bar where a waterfall gently spills behind rows of neatly shelved bottles. Outside, a two-tiered deck overlooks the Tahoe City Marina and, beyond the boat slips, a panoramic view of Lake Tahoe.

The makings of a midnight mouse snack were left in the middle of the living room floor of our vacation rental in Lake Tahoe: shredded paper and bits of granola, taken from an open backpack. The evidence was enough to lead some of my family to believe we weren't the only ones in the house. I'd seen similar rodent leftovers before, and my mind was made up.
