Storm creates gridlock on Ski Run near Heavenly Ski Resort
An unfortunate domino effect closed three-quarters of Heavenly Mountain Resort’s lodges on Monday and wreaked havoc on traffic through town all the way to Stateline from Ski Run as well as Pioneer Trail into Meyers.
Three power lines and a pole were, in part, to blame for the gridlocked traffic Monday morning. An unprecedented “perfect storm”, officials say, was caused by multiple events which led to the chaos, despite best efforts.
Extreme winter weather, power outages, holiday level traffic and usual traffic put a strain on the city’s infrastructure.
