Heavy traffic in South Lake Tahoe; City advising motorists stay in town longer
Submitted by paula on Sun, 03/05/2017 - 3:26pm
I-80 just reopened at 2:15 p.m., but the remnants of the westbound traffic that came south to go through South Lake Tahoe and over Highway 50 remains. That situation combined with heavy snow, chain controls and a lot of skiers and riders in town to enjoy the resorts, has created a traffic issue on the south shore.
The City of South Lake Tahoe has advised motorists that it is currently taking drivers four hours to travel from the Y to Meyers, a drive that normally takes under ten minutes.
"Consider leaving tomorrow or this evening," the City released in a statement.

Lake Tahoe ski resorts take 8 of top 10 "Biggest snow days of ski season"
Submitted by paula on Fri, 03/03/2017 - 9:24pm
The winter of 2016-2017 has been exceptional for skiers across the entire west. Colorado has flourished, California has shed any trace of drought and Jackson Hole is on a pace to break its own record for snowfall.
With so much snow, nearly every ski resort has piled up powder days. For those who took a ski trip this year and missed a big snowfall, it truly was a bad break, as storms have consistently stalked the west all year.
During a season so outstanding for snow, there have been a handful of storms, often one on top of another, that have produced gaudy one-day snow totals.
