First time I've been able to log in for awhile, old news now but I rode my fat bike past the closure on vigina lakes road in the middle of april

pics from last weekend.

South lake area. Good corn and a few mag sightings.

Agassiz is pretty bare


Someday I’ll do a multi day trip through le conte.


Then out of McGee creek. Esha is pretty skied up and choppy but only a 300ft hike to the snow line.

Baldwin and redslate



Red and white peak looking nice for people willing to make the trek.


Esha. Chunky chutes. Smooth panels on the lookers left.

I think I saw you on Esha? With the BC105s?

Sure was. Heritage lab skis are a pretty dead giveaway. Mags out shredding. Also saw meter man and enginerd.

Wow things are still looking good! Heading up with a friend on Sunday, planning to camp/ski a few nights up at rock creek and ski some other lines. Thanks for the stoke in this website window we got

(Also, how did you manage to get photos up? Never thought I'd see those again on this website)

It looks like Gilbert in the picture with you skiing.
Was the lake frozen?

South Lake is not frozen.

Gilbert is in my pic, but can’t really see the ski line.

But here ya go!

(Oddly the photo functionality has changed yet again since I posted my last photo. Who knows if this will work.)

This was my Sonora season opener, probably the finest conditions I’ve ever had there.

Big fire happening in the Lee Vining area (supposedly started near the Mono Inn north of town). 395 closed through there.

Uh oh re: the inn fire

Some photos from Rock Creek these past few days:

There’s great skiing to be had, but I’d do it as an overnight trip. There’s something like 5 miles of super annoying postholey gloppy approach, the real continuous snow starts somewhere between long and treasure lakes.

View from long lake:


Dade, Abbott, Treasure Peak:


Looking down rock creek from peppermint pass


The approach is about 5 miles of slog from the pack station to treasure lakes… my friend was not about to bootpack the skin track


Lots of good skiing to be had but even for the lines up at 13000 you have to wake up seriously early

[jj111]

Stupid of me to think that would work. Is Tapatalk the only way for photos?

[justinthomas]

Anyone have any recent info/obsevations on Tioga Pass?

[Blaster]

The SF Backcountry skiers Facebook group is pretty good for posting beta pics including recent pics from tioga. https://m.facebook.com/groups/1150152011668361/

Also some good people watching of war stories of city folks epic’ing in the mountains. Though it’s hard to bag on them too much as relative to the rest of the internet everyone is super nice.

Heard from a friend today that there hasn’t been a hard freeze in a while. Saddlebag Lake still has ice snow, and the skeeter hatch and mud festival hasn’t started in the 20 lakes basin.
