Does anyone know if the gate is open for deer valley trail off hwy 88 by blue lakes yet?

Do not know for sure but I would guess no. Blue lakes are at 8000 ft, very rare you can get back there beforte Memorial Day.
20 miles west of there the snow is still 4 ft deep at that elevation

i heard its still closed

Its open me and some buddy did it last week I live 45 min down the hill in Arnold CA

Theres no snow out there? I havent been there this year personally but i was about 10 or so miles away and there was no snow. i think youll be all good. ohh by the way im on the hwy 4 side of the trail.

We did it last week. Great run, but be warned, the trail is worse than in years past. It was my first time and I took a Ramcharger down it, but our trail leader said it was quite a bit worse than last year. Definitely 35's and at least one locker make it easy. Anything less will require a lot more work.

not that bad. we ran it in the ZUZU with limited slip both front & rear, also I put my wife behind the wheel for the first time ever on a trail last weekend here.

We went up just this Saturday, in one spot there was trouble ( only cause by driver error) but over all it was a great run.

go here look in the past events that is where the pictures are later

Deer Valley is a great day run trail

Small rigs make it look easy. Fitting a fat fullsize down the trail is harder. Depends on what you're used to. For us, it was the upper limit of what we wanted to do without the mods for the rig we have planned.
