I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

There is about half a foot on the ground now at lake level. Chains required on all passes in/out of the basin, and I80 is closed from Colfax to NV state line.
