RENO, Nev. (AP) — Searchers were battling blizzard conditions at a closed Lake Tahoe-area ski resort in a bid to find a 43-year-old California ski shop manager reported missing after failing to meet friends for Christmas dinner.

A Placer County sheriff’s sergeant says Rory Angelotta of Truckee was reported missing late Saturday at Northstar California Resort.

A major winter storm hitting Northern California is expected to intensify and bring travel headaches and a threat of localized flooding after an abnormally warm fall in the U.S. West. Light rain and snow that started falling over the weekend was heavier early Monday. The state’s highest peaks could get as much as eight feet of snow while lower elevations across California are in for a drenching of rain. (Shannon Buhler/Northstar Ski Resort via AP)

Authorities say Angelotta’s ski pass was last used that morning on a lift at Northstar and his phone logged an emergency ping about the same time.

His vehicle was later found in a Northstar parking lot.

The resort posted on Twitter that it was closed Sunday and Monday due to blizzard conditions and heavy snowfall.
