The inactivity of this group is sad, last year this time there were many posts each day, not all related to our (non)-resident troll.

Hasn't anyone had a great day so far this year to write about, or a ski location that is worthy of commendation???

Yesterday at Snow Summit. Pitiful conditions, and I did badly.

Monday Tuesday Wednesday at Yosemite Valley with my kids. We met at Amtrak station in Merced and drove in after Mexican food dinner. We stayed in a Curry Village heated tent (wood skeleton frame, canvas walls, and a propane heater) and it was not as cold as I feared it might be (wearing all my ski underwear, of course). There had been 4" of snow in the Valley Sunday, but the only residue on the road was the "Chains Required" signs, which we ignored because we didn't want to tear up the nice NPS roads. The parking lots were icy, but not a big problem. Hiking around on the trails meant exposure to a mix of rock, ice, snow and mud - and I fear that is all the winter I will get this year.

Sounds nice. I have to imagine it was pretty uncrowded? That place can really be a zoo.

Not crowded like summer, but this is the season for middle school Nature Bridge camps, so there were about a hundred kids in Curry Village tents a couple of hundred yards away. All I got in my upbringing was a week in 4H camp and a day trip to the FFA convention.

Only one campground was open in our end of the Valley and I only saw a dozen or so tents and RVs in there.
