A Los Angeles man died in an accident outside a Northern California ski resort Friday morning, authorities confirmed Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Nicholas Kenworthy, 26, reportedly was traversing a difficult trail designed for experienced skiers when he died. Elise Soviar, Placer County sheriff\u2019s communications manager, confirmed the 26-year-old was the victim of the accident. <\/p>\n
Kenworthy was skiing near the Northstar California Resort in Truckee, just outside Lake Tahoe.<\/p>\n
No information on the type of accident or injuries sustained by Kenworthy was available, according to Soviar.<\/p>\n
Northstar\u2019s media contact number has been deactivated and an email to the resort was not immediately returned.<\/p>\n
The resort\u2019s ski patrol initially responded to the injured skier, who was trekking through the rugged and advanced Martis Trail, according to the Sierra Sun<\/a>, which covers the local community.<\/p>\n The ski patrol handed over lifesaving duties to the Truckee Fire Department, according to the Sun. Kenworthy was pronounced dead, however, before reaching a local hospital.<\/p>\n An email to the Truckee Fire Department was not immediately returned.<\/p>\n The death happened four years after a previous tragedy near Northstar.<\/p>\n Search teams located the body of 43-year-old Colorado native Rory Angelotta in an area<\/a> north of the resort on Jan. 8, 2022. Angelotta was last seen Dec. 25<\/a>, 2021, heading up a ski lift at the resort, according to the Placer County Sheriff\u2019s Department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Los Angeles man died in an accident outside a Northern California ski resort Friday morning, authorities confirmed…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":583876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[7285,253041,1582,276,253036,12817,2961,25120,224,173911,5337,253034,253037,253035,253038,253043,28996,253042,253039,253040],"class_list":["post-583875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-accident","tag-advanced-ski-trail","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-elise-soviar","tag-email","tag-la","tag-lake-tahoe","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-man","tag-losangeles","tag-nicholas-kenworthy","tag-northern-california-ski-resort","tag-northstar","tag-placer-county-sheriff","tag-previous-tragedy","tag-resort","tag-sierra-sun","tag-ski-patrol","tag-truckee-fire-department"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116055893787916824","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=583875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/583876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=583875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=583875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=583875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
