Can you get from South lake Tahoe to Homewood on 89?
Around the west of the lake. Last year when I was there it had been
quite well cleared up to a bit before homewood, so you could not. Would be handy to know before I get there. |
Alittle update. I havce found this site
http://www.dot.ca.gov/cgi-bin/roads.cgi very useful If you put in 89 you get the report below. I do not recognise any of the points they refer to, but as it says there are "NO TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS" in "[NORTH CENTRAL CALIFORNIA & THE LAKE TAHOE BASIN]" I guess it is open? That makes a big difference, as we could stay in south lake tahoe and the beginners can ski in homewood while the more advanced do heavenly (but not the off piste off the track between the states ;) ) I would apperitiate if anyone could confirm this reading of the site, or even better personal confirmation that it is open. From http://www.dot.ca.gov/cgi-bin/roads.cgi This highway information is the latest reported as of Thursday, February 2, 2006 at 03:57 . SR 89 [EASTERN SIERRA NEVADA] IS CLOSED FROM THE JCT OF US 395 (MONO CO) TO THE JCT OF SR 4 /MONITOR PASS/ (ALPINE CO) - WINTER CLOSURE - MOTORISTS ARE ADVISED TO USE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE [CENTRAL CALIFORNIA & SIERRA NEVADA] NO TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS ARE REPORTED FOR THIS AREA. [NORTH CENTRAL CALIFORNIA & THE LAKE TAHOE BASIN] NO TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS ARE REPORTED FOR THIS AREA. [NORTHERN CALIFORNIA] IS CLOSED FROM THE SOUTH PARK BDRY TO THE JCT OF SR 44 /LASSEN LOOP/ (TEHAMA, SHASTA CO'S) - WINTER CLOSURE - MOTORISTS ARE ADVISED TO USE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE |
Heavenly has plenty of beginner stuff -- especially with the new gondola
going to the plateau area. The big thing is homewood is so much cheaper, both for the pass and for leasons. The small size is not really much of an issue for beginners. |
