Several feet of snow piled up on California’s peaks and mountain passes this weekend, causing roadways to close for avalanche control work. This also backed up traffic and forced at least one ski resort, Sierra at Tahoe, to cancel its Monday operations despite “legendary” riding conditions. California’s snowpack is on pace for a remarkable season after nearly three weeks of atmospheric river storms pummeled California with heavy precipitation.
