Does any one know how reliable the road between Truckee and Squaw or Alpine Meadows is like? If it's snowing (more than the plows can keep up with) and gets icy, are there a lot off accidents? It doesn't look like it has much incline (save for the last mile to the resorts).
I have a place booked in Truckee in February, but I'm wondering if it would make more sense to move down to Tahoe City. I get quite tense driving in snow and ice, plus I don't want to sit in 2 hour traffic. That happened along the 80 when we went before Christmas getting between Truckee and the summit for Soda Springs/Sugar Bowl (chain control on the incline near Donner Lake). I'm worried that it might dump with El Nino, and Feb is too far away to predict on a day by day basis.
Thanks!
