One time this happened when I lived out there. It was dumping so we tried to head up. Well the interstate was closed - we tried going around on state highways, also closed. IMO they close roads out there way too conservatively, but there's always morons with bald tires or whatever getting stuck and crap. Well as it turns out, there was also an avalanche that closed the road into Alpine Meadows (our attempted destination though with the closures I would have accepted others if we could have gotten to any).
