Travel to Mammoth, CA in Winter
I have a 45' tag axle Diesel Pusher, and was wondering what the best route into Mammoth is from the Bay Area. Has anyone travelled over 88 going East with a big rig in the middle of winter? Any op...

The only passes open in winter are I-80 north of Lake Tahoe or Hwy 50 south of Tahoe.
50 might be dicey if there is lots of snow but I=80 is a major east/west freeway that is kept open all winter.....with frequent short term shutdowns.
Anywhere further south and all the passes shut down in winter due to snow.....Hwy 88 goes to the Kirkwood ski area so that might stay open for skiers traffic with chains often required.
For sure you will not be able to get over Monitor pass and to the east side of the Sierras.
Bad info. 88 is kept open year round.
