an avalanche. two ski patrol members were preparing the slopes for visitors when the snow gave way. rescue crews were able to quickly pull one staff member out of the snow. the other staffer was taken to a local hospital. the entire mountain and lift operations closed early, but a high avalanche warning expired at 4 a.m. this morning. federal cuts from the trump administration will result in a reduction in staff at the sierra avalanche center. this means they can't provide forecasts for skiers and snowboarders. that could make it more dangerous and risky for people headed to the mountains during heavy snow storms. the center currently works with three forecasters employed by the u.s. forest service. usually, they can post avalanche forecasts every day, but if one of them is laid off, the center can only publish them four days a week. >> and what a mess it was getting up to the sierra this week. highway 80, by the way, is clear, but they're still doing a little work. highway 50 chains

highway 50 in the south shore, icy as well. plows still clearing out that roadway, and you will be chaining up all the way from twin bridges into myers, into south lake tahoe. >> it's a picture perfect shot, though. >> i know it's a good day to go. >> yeah, maybe tomorrow too, with more on the snow conditions and all things tahoe. we welcome in. kevin. coop. cooper. coop, good morning to you. how are things looking out there? >> oh, well, there you go. look at that right there. it is beautiful. i mean, you're talking. mother nature came in and like you just said it, she delivered. she gave us three and a half, possibly four feet at the upper elevations, but in a very short time frame. we got a lot of snow on the deck. a lot of work to do. but i'll tell you what. it's winter overnight, just just about 48 hours ago, there was not a drop of snow right here across the peak of. you were starting to see the rocks up above us on our ridge this morning, 4.5ft is up on top. mammoth, i hear, got up to

six feet of snow in this last round of storms. so that's great for the snowpack. and i'll tell you what. for presidents day weekend it has set us up amazingly. >> i was going to say coop, the timing could not be better. you know it snows during the week. the holiday weekend is here. the resorts must be going nuts up there. but they're they're still a little mitigation, i guess avalanche wise as well right. >> yeah. great question. so i was just looking with binoculars. so where i'm at at meyers frank and you kind of know where i'm at. we're that's angora ridge behind me. and then right from it for about five minutes, i'm at the base of like 4 or 5 great hikes. i was looking this morning to see if i wanted to go out there this morning. a lot of movement. there are 4 or 5 fractures across that ridgeline that are up to 3 to 4ft, is what it looks like from my binoculars when i'm taking a look at it. avalanche danger. right now, sierra avalanche has us at high right now inside the resorts. yesterday, mammoth mountain, very big slide. and then up at

kirkwood mountain resort. they had a driver took a slide for life is one of the roads broke loose. so there is some challenges in the backcountry. but the resorts have been working around the clock to make this the best presidents day weekend we've had in decades. >> well, coop, we know 80 is clear. 50. you still need chains. how about the side roads in and around all of the resorts up there? >> that's a that's a that's a challenge right there. that's a great question. so they're working hard. so that's the city plow offs county plow offs and caltrans. so they're working right now around the clock to get these roads opened up around my zone. we've already seen a plow come through. they gave us one good lap right now. but slow your roll when you're in and around the region you see a caltrans back off them. let them work the road right there. highway 50 is challenging right now. it's cold this morning, so maybe i-80 is open, but it is slick. so we're talking black ice on the road 50. a little bit more work to do and that's more up towards echo summit. but they'll get that done. state route 88 another challenge as well a lot of snow out there. so

i'd say in the next 24 hours roads are going to be open free and clear. but remember cold temperatures, which is great for the snow, makes for slick road conditions. you can't see it. it's called black ice. >> yeah. good point by you. wel, let's talk about the vibe because you had kind of a pretty dry january. and i'm not talking alcohol here. we're we're talking snow. so this has got to be welcome. it finally feels like winter up there. >> absolutely frank stoke level just really pinned off the meter. and it really hit hard because now you've got resorts that are open up. so let's talk about bear valley grizzlies open first time this season. the grizzlies open. that's how much snow they got. so that's all the way down to the lower elevations. dodge ridge 100% open heavenly. all the resorts right now are now literally able to open up 100% of their terrain. they might have said the zones are open, but really you saw rope lines where rocks were starting to get exposed. those are all covered right now. so it's really good for this

weekend. and it looks like we have an active pattern as we roll through the next part of february. and then hopefully march is the banger and we get back up to 396in. >> and if i was up there this weekend, i would be doing apres ski things. but we want to know, what are your plans this saturday? >> you know? well, i'm still looking at the peak over here. so i think this afternoon the wolves and i are going to go up and we're going to do some low angle. we'll just get it. so he gets some exercise out. but we're going to go down and snowshoe on the lake. and you know that's that's a great thing because now we have lake level snow. so if you want to go snowshoe by the lake you maybe want to go down to camp richardson, you maybe want to go to ski run and all that. there's all sorts of stuff that you can do that's not necessarily at the resorts. and we have bluebird skies. it is cold, but no winds out here. it's the perfect time to come up and visit lake tahoe and big blue today. she is gorgeous. >> chamber of commerce just called us and said thank you coop.

there is some public outrage after the trump administration removed references to transgender and queer people from the website of the stonewall national monument. stonewall inn, located in new york's greenwich village, was the site of historic protests back in 1969 when patrons fought back against police raids at a gay bar. it became a federal monument in 2016. will, the executive director of san francisco pride joined our show yesterday? she told us the transgender community appears to be a political scapegoat. >> i think they found that it resonated with their base. i think that the headlines against trans people, they've been building that up over the last 4 or 6 years. and i think when

they got into the election cycle this time, they realized it was a small minority that they could pick on for a lot of political gain. >> she went on to say that the federal moves will not erase strides made by transgender people to be more visible in our communities. >> new details are emerging about the trump administration's plan to consider sending migrants facing deportation to the federal correctional institution in dublin. the former all women's prison closed last year following a sex abuse scandal, as ktvu crime reporter henry lee explains. activists and attorneys say the facility is no place for detainees. >> it definitely looks like it's moving in that direction. all the pieces are falling in place. >> john kostelnik is an official with the union representing prison workers. he says ice officials visited the now closed dublin federal prison on thursday and friday. >> we don't know the questions that are being asked. we don't know the exact specifics, but there's most certainly touring as an assessment to potentially

utilize the facility. >> the prison closed last year after a federal judge in oakland placed a special master over the facility in the wake of a sex abuse scandal. seven prison workers have been convicted and eight is headed to trial. >> for immigrants like incarcerated at dublin, they were specifically targeted for abuse. >> kendra drysdale spent two years as an inmate there, and says those awaiting civil immigration proceedings should not be housed in dublin. >> to put people that are not even criminals, by the way, in in to a prison environment is absolutely horrific and a huge violation of human rights. >> there are deep structural environmental issues with the facility. >> susan beatty is an attorney representing inmates who reached a settlement with the bureau of prisons over the inmate abuse. she says the prison is filled with asbestos and black mold. >> the prison was closed because the facilities are unsafe, but also because of a long standing culture of abuse, retaliation, medical neglect and ice has a

well-documented history of those same issues. >> bureau of prisons, ice and other federal officials have not responded to ktvu inquiries as to what's in store for the prison. it's not known if the bureau of prisons would house detainees on behalf of ice, or if ice would take over the facility themselves, or through a private prison contractor. >> so no matter who is running the facility, bop ice, a private prison company, people will not be safe if fci dublin is reopened. >> a top official at the bureau of prisons has said the dublin facility needs tens of millions of dollars in repairs, so the future of this prison is still unknown. henry lee ktvu, fox two news. >> new government data shows retail sales are taking a nosedive. the commerce department says retail sales actually dropped almost a full percentage point in january. that's the biggest drop in about two years. cold weather across the country, along with all the wildfires here in california. limited shopping opportunities. some economists think potential tariffs on imported goods could

they can't provide forecasts for skiers or snowboarders. that could make it more dangerous and risky for people headed to the mountains during heavy snowstorms. the center currently works with three forecasters employed by the u.s. forest service. usually, they can post avalanche forecasts every day, but if one of them is laid off, the center can only publish them four days a week. >> well, katie, kevin durant, back in the bay area for the nba all star game tomorrow night, he will be a starter. while he has earned a number of titles, he says the real mvp in his life is wanda durant, his mother. up next, we're live with mama durant, talking about the work she's doing right here in the bay area to motivate and inspire the next generation. >> outside our doors. this morning it is a frosty start. i'll have a look at what you can expect for your bay area weekend after the ea

time when a lot of the basketball world didn't like the decision that he had made to come here. but because the fans, the organization and the players rallied around them, him in particular, they became two times nba champions. i mean, i'm sorry, two time champions. and he became two time mvp champion. so this is a place that is very endearing to him and to our family, because during the time when there was a lot of controversy around the decision that he made, the bay area welcomed us, warmly, comforted us through the whole through that whole time. and so, yes, it's just a wonderful place to be. and as i said earlier, i have some dear friends here that i've seen since i've been here over the weekend, and i just miss it because everyone has welcomed us so warmly. so it's been it's endearing to him. and i understand why, because they loved on us. and even now, after he left, we get so many messages and they say we love kevin in

players have. so i'm just grateful for the opportunity to be here in the bay. kevin's looking forward to continue to play with steph, to compete against steph, and to continue to grow and be a part of the legacy of the nba family. so their relationship is unmatched and is unbreakable no matter where. >> they are. i have a feeling they may go into business together down the road. they may already have. we just. >> i'm sure, i'm sure of it. a lot of things going on in the background that we that i don't even know about, but i wouldn't be surprised if of some venture business adventure come out that they're a partner of. so i'm sure it will happen. >> yeah. >> sooner or later. it hasn't happened already. right. >> well, wanda. hey, keep up the great work in the community. thanks for spreading joy. and have yourself a great time this weekend. thank you. >> take care. good to see you guys. take care. god bless you all. >> mama durant in all her glory. you're the best. >> our mothers. all right, take care. you too. >> bye. wow! what a delight she is.
