Many roads in Lake Tahoe, CA and Mammoth, CA are closed due to heavy snow and strong winds.

Highways 80 and 50 are both closed for the day today (Sunday).

Palisades Tahoe is closed for the day due to heavy snow and strong winds.

Kirkwood is closed for the day as well.

Winds at Palisades Tahoe have been blowing over 100mph yesterday and today.

Palisades Tahoe has already gotten over 75″ of snowfall from this storm cycle.

There is no way into or out of Mammoth.

You might be able to get in and out of Tahoe on the Nevada side but not the California side.

We tried to drive over highway 80 and got denied this morning.

It’s time to stay home and wait it out…
