emcee- thx for the artwork of people and donkeys desperately scrambling over the pass, it's perfect, LOL
looking forward to some skiing up there in next two weeks.

Can't make it this year but would be nice to see some pics.

Ellery Bowl almost always looks like a shambles from the road, with giant rock patches everywhere, even when conditions are excellent....

What PB said, perfection! Looks like paradise up there right now, thanks.

engineered- great report, thanks for the epic photos!

This is awesome, thanks for the report. Been meaning to get over there for years! Many flight paths go over this peak, it's a mind blowing stand alone range to look at from up in the sky...

That guy is amazing, my uphill rate is more like 1k/hour, LOL...

Thanks for the great pics, looking nice up there.

Beautiful! Can you camp there yet? Thanks for the info!

Also Rock Creek is amazing. 168 up to the Whites is huge too, can walk through the Bristlecone Pine forest.

I just did a walk through Panum Crater. Somehow I overlooked it for many years. One of the weirdest places I've ever seen, easy and worth it.

Top of Gaylor skied great today. But you want to start super early. Lots of skiers at the pass.

Thx for the info guys, looking forward to skiing there next week, will be searching around for the goods.

The Snowbrains.com guys just reported some brutal snow around Mt Dana, hopefully it softens up soon (!) Coverage looks better than I thought it would...

Thanks for the info, I'm planning on being there next week for BC and some lift riding

Best of luck with fire season, thanks for your work and stay safe!

Looks just awesome, thanks. Maybe it corns up in 2-3 weeks... I was thinking of doing a one day, partial climb up there, just to 11k or so, I'm too creaky to do 5k+ in a day!

Awesome pic, Lee, thanks. I wonder what altitude that is?

Northern tip of Manhattan. Skiable when there's 2'+ of snow (but lots of underbrush to avoid!).

Whatsupdoc thanks this thread is total inspiration, awesome trip... !!!

Thx much appreciated!
I'm not in CA anymore so it takes some doing to get a trip planned, can't just load the car and drive up for a few days.
I'm guessing Lassen will hold out the longest, who...

Awesome TR, thanks!

(You think it will still be going in two weeks?)

Awesome patch ski. Is that lil guy wearing Pit Viper sunglasses??

This really is a great video.

Ha! Lovelie!

Was looking at skiing Scotland today online, this 40-45 degree pitch...

wonder if conness chutes will hold after the cups melt away


would it be totally unethical to somehow snowcat a groomer path over the Conness approach... just...

Brutal!
Anybody get a look at Ellery Bowl?

Any room for another "young guy" in the coming weeks? :wink: I'm planning to be by at some point.

So epic! Thanks for the report and photos. Been wanting to ski that, and see the trees, for many years...

wow, amazing castle still goes good- i should head up there...
wonder if carson pass is good too?

the good Dana lines were well worth it but best to navigate a smart way out to avoid enormous...

Skied Dana Tues, Ellery Thurs. this week.
The whole Eastside seems to be brutally suncupped. Like it's late July or something.
But Dana Couloir is in great shape and Ellery Bowl is surprisingly...
