Cal trans are such bitches. Let people drive. If people get in accidents then thats fewer idiots out on the roads.

that doesn't work. They people get stuck and crash and make a huge mess. If there are wrecks and stuck people the plows can't operate and the snow builds up even deeper making it too deep for the plows to push up the hills and they have to go to zauggs which take even more time. The bottom line is if dumb people would stop crashing and getting stuck then the road wouldn't be closed as often, but as it stands they don't trust people when it's really deep. Plus the majority of the time I-80 closes is from accidents, not snow alone.

about 9 or so (not sure) what I guess I could consider powder days, 5 or 6 really good, the others nice new snow, but maybe a little heavy, or not to deep. NOt sure though..and I guess I should count how many days I've skied this year. I also went cat skiing for 4 days, so that was a bonus. http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=153250

Caltrans is on the ball enough that it's never "too deep." They have those plows rolling constantly during storms. The fact of the matter is, they close the road because they are lazy and don't want to deal with the accidents that will inevitably happen. When they close the road it turns away all the gapers who don't really want to go skiing that bad, then we are stuck waiting for caltrans to turn their man-gina back into a cock and sack up.

A lot. There has only been one day I've been to Kirkwood this year where there wasn't fresh snow in the past 24 hours, and I've got at least 20 days at Kirkwood. I'd say well over 10 decent pow days this year, and 5 bluebirds after big dumps.
