Damage To Blagen Road Culvert May Impede White Pines Park Summer Operations

Arnold, CA...Damage To Blagen Road Culvert May Impede White Pines Park Summer Operations. (Editor's Note: We did a bit of digging and a temporary plank bridge 14 foot wide, 60 foot long & 90,000 lbs capacity can be rented for $3,000 to $5,000 per month. It seems this might be the best solution for this summer and fire season as it would restore functionality until they can knock out the repairs.)

The expected high is suggested to be 36F and falling to 28F by 3pm or so. Winds will be out of the South from 18-23mph with gusts to 34mph. Tonight will continue with a mix of rain and snow as the temp will again rise to around 38F during the early morning of Tuesday coupled with high winds in the 40-48mph range with gusts to 75mph and continuing out of the South. Tuesday could drop another 7-11" of new snow as the temps fluctuate and winds will again be out of the South from 31-36mph with gusts to 55mph. The Lower Mtn will be on hold today due to the higher elevation snow levels as concerns there are Avalanche related.

Someone's been talking to Ullr............ Come up to Bear Valley and experience our local "Pure Mtn Fun" ethos and stay tuned..........
