Submitted by paula on Thu, 12/27/2018 - 1:44pm
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The snow has fallen and the kids are out of school so it's time for many to hit the Sierra. Skiers and boarders have the slopes but where do sledders and those just wanting to play go?
Many stop on the highway and pull onto the shoulder (well, sort of) and head to the patch of snow. This behavior is causing problems for law enforcement, other drivers and is an accident waiting to happen.

During the slopestyle event at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games at Bokwang Phoenix Snow Park, competitors had to wait for hours to complete two runs in the women's finals.

Jamie had an impressive 83-point first run, enough for her to claim the gold.
Motorist behavior along Highway 50 in the Sierra a concern to Caltrans and CHP
Submitted by admin on Tue, 01/03/2017 - 5:39pm
The snow hasn't been the only concern on Highway 50 over Echo Summit and along the road to Strawberry. The behavior of motorists who park illegally on the road is becoming more of a safety issue and hazard.
For those that have driven this stretch, the situation isn't anything new though there has been a big increase in offenders.
Drivers are pulling over on the roadway, a state highway, to experience snow play, and those parking are not paying attention to "No Parking" signs or the dangerous situation they are causing.
