If you’re headed up the mountain to do some skiing today heads up, there are at least 3 ski resorts closed due to high winds.  Kirkwood reported record setting wind gusts up to 209 mph.  Sugar Bowl and Sierra at Tahoe are closed as well.  Be smart and check ahead. 

Kirkwood now gusting 209 MPH! This could potentially be a new California state record wind speed if verified! https://t.co/WeWzntYjLt
