South Lake Tahoe, CA….Highway 50 fully opened to the public at 8am this morning. No permits will be needed for residents to gain access to properties not included on forest service land. If your property is on forest service land, please contact the forest service for access details.

For residents and property owners who did not drive through the summit yesterday, the EDSO trailer will remain at Fresh Pond to provide a packet of safety and assistance information.
