Message from Sierra: Sierra received 3 feet of new snow in the past week, leaving the mountain prime for playing! This storm brought in strong winds + varying snow levels which left the mountain with variable conditions, meaning today calls for waterproof gear and a buddy to ride with in the trees. The cords are going to be fast and fun this morning after this weeks refresher--be sure to cruise down our groomer's choices of Upper Sugar and Spice and Pyramid! We're getting started at 9 am with 8 lifts, 44 trails + lots of powder pockets left to discover! NOAA is forecasting a mostly sunny day with a high near 44 and light SW winds to cool you off in between laps. Highways 50, 88, + 89 are all open, however roads are still icy from the storm so be careful driving up. Call Caltrans at 1-800-427-7623 for the most up-to-date road conditions.
