The roads are currently fine right now. Going up sunday morning was a ***** though. Left Berkeley at 6:30am, arrived at homewood(alpine meadows was closed) at 12:30. I had to take highway 50 because 80 was closed. Then 89 got closed on the south lake side, so I had to take highway 50, then drive all the way around the lake to homewood. Some of the others from my group left Berkeley around 11-12am, they didn't get to north lake, which is where we stayed, until 10pm.

I just came back and we took 80, left at 5, stopped at auburn for dinner, and got back to Berkeley at 8:30

ALWAYS ride with a buddy, ive got close to 150 rides in the last 5.5 seasons and shred pretty decent but it doesnt matter in that kind of POW, not trying to be on the news just yet!
