Tahoe area: snow above ~8000?
Can anyone from the Truckee/Tahoe area give a report on the amount of
snow left above ~8000, and on BC skiing, if any, conditions in the area in general? I looked up snow sensor data, it shows anywhere between 24 and 40 inches left, but how skiable that is is hard to guess. Are Echo lakes already clear of ice? |

Replying to myself - Still plenty of snow above 8,000 feet in the Tahoe area, especially if you stick to N-exposed slopes. Skied with my wife from Rt 88 over Carson Pass to 'Mets lake", "Four lakes", "Round lake" (the route to Big Meadow on Rt 89) and back. Made the route back a bit more challenging by climbing over an unnamed pass to 9,100 feet on the Little Round Top Ridge for some great views and a fun run down back to Carson Pass. 6 hrs of fun. Will probably go again next weekend. Have to figure out how to telemark. Both of us used E99-like setups. Did not need skins, but will probably get skins for the next weekend ski - we wanna climb the ridge on the other side of Carson Pass (Round top and the Two Sisters). |

People are still crust cruising in the broad Bozeman/Yellowstone area. There was a big trail work event scheduled today for up back in Hyalite Canyon, in the mountains SE of Bozeman, that had to be postponed until early June due to 2' of new snow this week. Gene |
