Opening day at multiple ski resorts in the Sierra came a week early: Boreal, Heavenly, and Kirkwood welcomed skiers and snowboarders to the mountain on Veteran's Day due to the more than two feet of snow that fell in parts of the Sierra.
Fuels, that have been historically dry in the Sierra and increased the risk for wildfire danger, are wet from rain and snow. It's a relief for CalFire crews, at least for now, because as moisture levels go up the risk of fire danger goes down.
Estes said that the snow and rain lower fire risk now, but it's not guaranteed to last into February. He explained the risk for wildfire, in California, doesn't disappear at any time of year due to the type of fuel types across the jurisdiction.
