Anyone know it the fire road to the crag is open at this point?

According to the forest service website it's still closed. Here is the link: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/tahoe/alerts-notices/?cid=stelprdb5302042

According to this link it says that it is open....https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/tahoe/recarea/?recid=79976

If anyone can confirm the status on the Fire Service 06 road that leads to Big Chief that would be awesome!

The first gate is open. However the second gate is not. If you want to go around the gate you can. You'll need 4x4.(This is what ive heard about it) There is also some snow on the road. So lower clearance vehicles may have trouble.

Please don't go around the gate, that really irritates the FS up there and does not help access.
