Driving up to tahoe this weekend?
Does anyone know how the roads and traffic will be on the way to tahoe on friday with the heavy snow coming in? Not trying to get stuck on the way in
Friday will be terrible, expect both 50 and 80 to be slow depending on where you’re going and if there’s chrashes they could close them
I would check for proper updates. Also chain control will def be going on. 80 has been closed for a few hours I believe. I think 50 is open. chain control is in action pretty much everywhere. Pretty decent winds so it's drfiting hard. Not a ton of snow yet, but even when there was a few inches it was drifting pretty good.
Everybody was on wind hold today.

Tbh even if the weather is better than expected it’s going to fucked for both 50 and 80. It’s just going to be inherently bad because it is a weekend and every stubborn driver who thinks they’ve got a handle on things is going to be heading up as well as the weekend crowds who won’t take the weather seriously. If you’re going to make the trip leave early and be really careful.
Take provisions: food, water, sleeping bag, etc and make sure your tank is topped up sac or auburn or pollock pines or something.

For sure. I understand that for people who don't live in the mtns it doesn't matter, but I always keep a bag, water, stacks of handwarmers and other stuff in the car. If I'm traveling I'll bring some snacks but don't want them bears fucking with my ride.
My car broke in the middle of fucking nowhere in co 3 years ago, I just layered up, climbed in my bag, and rocked a bunch of handwarmers for the night
thanks, do you guys think its worth making the trip up friday afternoon or should I stay the night in sac or auburn and then leave early saturday morning?

Im going to ride in the morning. I can post if its good. Not sure what everyone got, also been blowing like a motherfucker so drifted here and there.
When are you trying to get up? There looks to be a break this morning/ early afternoon before the next wave comes through. Check 511.org?
50 or 80? What are you driving?

Couldn’t get to squaw or alpine this morning. Shit was fucked. Guess I’ll just be skiing midweek for these next couple of storms
I thought today might be crazy. Traffic lolz. Glad I was heading back to kb and not stuck in it

Just because of traffic? Or that and conditions
Just traffic as far as I could tell. I know they had some dicey avy conditions this morning in he resort headwall but idk how that would correlate to the bad traffic. There were just so many people trying to get to squaw this morning it was insane.

lots of people heading to northstar as well, and then everyone who didn't get into squaw changing plans as well.
shit was gridlocked. Luckily I was leaving northstar at 9 am not on my way there. Shit was backed up to kings beach almost on 267 and probably halfway to 80 on the other side.
Yesterday I left at 630 and didn't get to Northstar til 1040 today left at 7 and had to turn around at 1020 because Kirkwood was full... Tahoe sucks sometimes
All times are Eastern (-4)
