IS REOPENED FROM KIRKWOOD (AMADOR CO) TO 5 MI WEST OF PICKETTS JCT (ALPINE CO) AT 0828 HRS ON 3/25/11
Also, the reason why I mentioned a blog-like page, is because it's worthwhile for us to know what you've done in the last days or the last week. It's even useful when you close a road to know how long ago you closed it: for instance when you closed 50 for avalanche control as I was driving up, it was useful for me to know (through my own page, not yours), that you had closed it 1H ago and guess that it'd probably reopen 2H after it was closed, which it did.
I did that part for you by scraping your web page and keeping history for me and others, but you really should do this yourselves. See: http://marc.merlins.org/snow/roadinfo/sr88IS CLOSED 1.5 MI WEST OF KYBURZ IS CLOSED FROM TWIN BRIDGES TO MEYERS IS CLOSED TO WESTBOUND TRAFFIC AT 4.8 MI WEST OF STRAWBERRY IS CLOSED FROM ECHO SUMMIT TO MEYERS IS CLOSED TO EASTBOUND TRAFFIC FROM COLFAX (PLACER) TO THE NEVADA STATE LINESo, we have 'AT X', 'From X to Y', 'TO traffic AT X', and even 'TO traffic FROM X TO Y', and probably a few more. Then a road can be CLOSED or have 'TRAFFIC HELD', which quite frankly are the same in real life, but you seem to use one or the other depending on the road for some reason.
This was a busy year, especially for March
they need to clean that van :)
Mmmh, the plow guy came that afternoon, but by the evening the driveway was unsuable already.
a little bit of ice hanging :)
kirkwood staff was shoveling the snow at the top of the wall so that we didn't get stuck
a couple of skiers climbed on the roof and jumped out. Sweet!
5ft+ of snow wasn't for play, they really had it.
when the wall finally opened, there was a little bit of a line :)
come on Arturo, don't be scared, it's just a cornice ;)
the ride home on sunday turned out to be uneventful
Last 48 Hours | 64-70" |
Storm Total | 145-159" |
Last 7 Days | 164-183" |
Seasonal Total Range | 691-713" |
Base Depth | 229- 273" |
line to the tram was ridiculous (1h)
did I mention that snow coverage was poor? :)
to make extra money, they also had ziplining
I found this hut by chance in a middle of a tree run
their best lift was actually uphill from the closest lift, so you had to hike there
the terrain from headwall was much more fun
their trees tended to be more dense than the Tahoe ones.
lower octane gas at altitude for non turbo cars

Warning, snow can be cold. Oh, and you can die :)
Thanks Heavenly for warning snowboarders about the long traverse at the bottom
