January 2, Weekend outlook
Kern County still shows the gate at the bottom of the mountain as closed. No word on when it will be opened.
And the weather forecast for tomorrow does not look pleasant:

For reference, the parking lot at Nordic Base is at 8300 feet so the expected snow level is 400 feet higher.
