The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) has indicated that Kyle Canyon Road (SR-157) is currently enacting snow chain restrictions starting at mile marker 4, due to winter conditions. Motorists planning to travel the route are urged to affix their vehicles with snow chains to ensure safety on the slick roadways. The RTC advises travelers to stay updated on road conditions and closures by visiting relevant websites, as reported by News 3 LV.
In related updates, despite the restrictions hindering movement along Kyle Canyon Road, Lee Canyon appears to be accommodating a steady flow of visitors, with KTNV noting that a recent video shows no shortage of patrons at the popular skiing and snowboarding destination. Offering 14 inches of snow over the past 24 hours, Lee Canyon is open and operational, except for some potential delays as the ski patrol conducts routine safety work.
Travelers to Lee Canyon are required to have snow chains or 4WD/AWD with snow-rated tires. Local law enforcement is likely to enforce these requirements to ensure visitor safety, according to Lee Canyon’s website.
Despite snow chain enforcement, Lee Canyon remains busy, as live webcams show. KTNV reports that all but one ski lift and trail are open, offering a full weekend of skiing and snowboarding.
