UPDATE 2:49PM: Traffic is no longer being held on Highway 50.
Happy Presidents Day, Sierra!
Itโs snowing! If you’re headed to the mountain today, please check Caltrans for any road restrictions and be prepared for winter driving conditions.
Expect a high near 32 degrees with steady snowfall, becoming heavy at times. Winds may gust up to 30 mph, and visibility could be limited โ bring your warm layers and low-vis goggles for a classic storm riding day. Hooray!
Our teams are working hard around the clock to prepare the mountain for a great day on the slopes. Be sure to check our website for the latest updates on lifts and terrain.
Abe Lincoln and George Washington are lost! Find 1 of 4 stuffed presidents hidden around the base area and return to Guest Services between 8:30AM and 1:00PM to claim your prize.
As always, please ski and ride with caution, stay on open terrain and be aware that unmarked obstacles may exist. Brush up on your deep-snow safety.
Cheers to fresh snow!
