Larkspur mother, winemaker among ski group killed in Tahoe avalanche

Danielle Keatley was among the close circle of ski mothers killed in Tuesday’s avalanche near Castle Peak outside Truckee, women who spent winter weekends driving their children to Sugar Bowl.

At home in Larkspur, Keatley balanced a demanding biotech career with a winery she built with her husband, Dave. Friends say she blended ambition with warmth and deep community ties.
