GOAT1 02-09-2003, 10:23 AM I was planning a wheeling trip around Shaver lake east of Fresno next weekend, does any one know if there is decent snow up there now, we usually do Bald mt trail and others nearby, but might call it off if there is not any good snow. nasvik 02-09-2003, 10:42 AM Goat1 - I just spent a month living at 5000' outside of Oakhurst. Almost no snow at 5000', some at 6000' and starts to pick up after that. A friend owns a ranch at 7900' above Florence Lake (above Huntington Lake) and says the land is under about 9' of snow right now. So.... chances are you'll find some. Hasn't snowed in a while though - don't expect light and fluffy. Paul SHERPA 02-09-2003, 02:01 PM supposed to rain in Tulare wed/thur for sure. look for more snow in the mnts above Shaver..... --Sherpa LCOwner 02-09-2003, 04:58 PM You'll find some pack snow if you go to Bald Mtn. but no powder. All the other trails are closed. GOAT1 02-09-2003, 10:04 PM thanks for the info, I heard it is supposed to rain/snow on tues or wed also, so looks like it might work out. White Goat 02-09-2003, 10:32 PM just got down from bald, that will be fun with fresh powder and pure ice underneath. this morning was ok but in late afternooon everything was ice. have fun!;) ALWJ 02-10-2003, 03:14 PM I thought they closed those trails till spring because there is TOO much snow? That and they turn them into snow mobile trails... figured that out when I saw the little signs 10 feet off the ground on the trees :D RE:Todd 02-10-2003, 03:50 PM Originally posted by ALWJ I thought they closed those trails till spring because there is TOO much snow?

I am going to be down that way for xmas, and if I don't make it all the way south to the hammers, I want to do some snow wheeling. Is bald the only place that is unplowed and ungated in the entire area? Any FS roads that are open/unplowed? LCOwner 12-21-2003, 10:51 AM Pretty much. There may be some areas up at Bass Lake but I'm not that familiar with that area. I'm sure bald has enough now for a cheap thrill. Have fun desertCJ 12-21-2003, 10:55 AM Bald MT. is pretty much a cheap thrill anyway you cut it:flipoff2: It was awsome camping by the lookout over the 4th of July tho;) Booger Weldz 12-21-2003, 01:06 PM i think 'freds40' ran bald mt with some guys from marlins shop last weekend??? Hendo 12-21-2003, 01:27 PM dusy hershim trail is up there and that is closed desertCJ 12-21-2003, 01:46 PM dusy hershim trail is up there and that is closed Really:flipoff2: That was soooo usefull to us:rolleyes: Jason Lister 12-22-2003, 11:39 AM There is star lakes and iron lakes trails up above Oakhurst. They are easy trails, but they get exponentially harder in the snow, if you can make it to them. We keep going up, it's not too bad right now. I was pushing snow with my bumper last weekend (on the super duty). If anybody is going in the area, gimme a pm or email at slprlx@yahoo.com Jason freds40 12-22-2003, 12:34 PM Originally posted by Booger Weldz i think 'freds40' ran bald mt with some guys from marlins shop last weekend??? Yeah it was two weekends ago. There was a foot and a half and then the next day they supposedly got a ton more. If you enter the trail from the south end off Rock Creek rd, theres a few fun climbs. It's mainly a lot of throttle work, not too much finesse (?) on Bald in the winter. Still a blast to wind the Toy up to 5 grand and let it fly. :flipoff2: | |
