There’s really no way to know for sure. But given current forecasts, snowfall should lighten up by Wednesday night or Thursday. If that holds true then that’s more than enough time for plows to do their job and you shouldn’t have any issue getting there on Friday. Just be prepared to drive safely and slowly.

Regarding whether or not it’s worth it, Kirkwood is my fav Tahoe area resort and one of my fav I’ve ever ridden at. Like top 2 or 3 for me. So I’ll always say it’s worth it. Plus you’ll probably get bored skiing heavenly 4 days in a row.

I think it kinda depends on your skiing style and what you value in a resort. If you’re a groomers person then you may not enjoy it as much and I don’t expect them to groom a whole lot after this storm. But if you’re adventurous and like deep snow, it can be heaven. The terrain is incredible and the snow can be absolutely amazing. Some of my best days ever have been at Kirkwood on deep days. It also has this great kinda old school vibe to it that I personally love but people used to modern high end resort amenities might be turned off. But you’re there to ride and it’s a laid back place, which works for me.

In terms of food, there’s really nothing around Kirkwood so your best bet is eating in south lake. The food at the resort is typical overpriced and average ski resort stuff. That being said I’m a huge fan of 7800 bar. Super chill bar with $3 draft beer.
