Even in the Summer this stretch of 80 is no joke. You've got big rigs crawling up the grades and steep descents and a few curves here and there. You've got to be 100% focused on the road. Driving it in the Winter is next-level stuff.
i have driven over this hill many a time in great summer weather all the way to blizzards. so many do not respect this pass as parts are very bad in the cold weather. i forms on the rd even in the summer. but i find it disgusting the state waits till many are trapped in the snow before shutting down the pass.
wow if the roads are that id be waiting until the storm was over my life is more inportant then that load some drivers think that if they say no to dispatch they will get fired well take a pic and send it to them and say my life is inportant then the load that when u gewt there u have to wait to unload
Need to chain up, slow your roll, and keep on trucking as long as visibility is good. With white original chain racks it can be easy to chain up in 15 to 20 minutes.
i was able to do a full chain up in 20 minutes. from setting my brakes to releasing them. and they were all tight. 40 years on the rd, you learn how to do thing the right way and fast.

Well said.
I avoid that highway because of the cally nutcase drivers the overloaded road and the lack of highway patrol to keep the lawless drivers…..
Drought and fires followed by rain and blizzards. Never a dull moment in California.
My great-grandmother’s second cousin, Virginia Backenstoe Reed, stepdaughter of James Fraser Reed, was a member of the Donner Party!
OMG WE ARE GETTING POLITICAL NOW.
So she's a cannibal 😮
@@roberthenderson4466Political?
@@matthewpettengill3008No - if you read the history of the Donner Party, none of the Reed family or the Breen family resorted to cannibalism.
My step sisters step moms half brothers step kids little brothers grandfather was a member as well ....wow small world
Thank you. I really felt like I was there. And, I am really glad I was not. :).
What did the highway patrolman say?
They should have never let those semi trucks through.
How fast were you going? It seems like you were flying.
Had some good times in that area . Almost bought a cabin on Donner lake .
why drive that fast though?
It looks fast because of where I put the camera

This is not a blizzard, no way. There is hardly any snow, if any, falling and there is very little wind.
Thank you for the insight, metrologic "expert"... XD
I thought I-80 from Colfax to Reno was closed due to heavy snow. How did you get through?
What are we riding in
There needs to be more of your kind out there! Not just stearing wheel holders that always wait out the storm.

Everthing is Biblical in California. Got to be tough to live there.
