snow on the trail

[arcthedog]

Anyone got pics of the snow conditions?

[The Jerk]

theres no snow to take pics of from loon to sluice. cant speak for the rest....

[Simple Man]

I've got a few but they are too big and I don't have a host for them.

There are still quite a few spots on the Tahoe side between the turn off at Barker Pass Road and the water hole we just drained. It's passable but we had the shovels out for 20-30 miutes getting our five rigs through at one spot.

Still a few drifts between the staging area and the Barker turn off. Most just force you to one side or the other. The ground is still very wet everywhere. Water levels are very high and there is a lot of water crossing the trail.

This is very true. The trail seemed to be open/dry almost everywhere except this part (that Simple Man mentions) which was very wet. I am kinda bummed we went through the wet stuff, but we did not want to turn back after getting to the top of Cadillac.

Well, we're gonna try and give it a go this weekend. Prob 4 or 5 rigs heading out friday afternoon.

It was hot up there this weekend, NO snow from Loon to the Springs, but talked to a couple of guys that came in Tahoe side and said there is a couple of feet on top of the hill.

Yeh weather up there was as nice as can be. Little bit of dust sometimes but lots of water to play in.

[arcthedog]

I just got back at about 5pm and it was perfect this weekend. a few snow patches to cross coming in from tahoe, but nothing major. the water crossings were about 3/4 of the way up my 35's. all in all it was great, we pretty much had the upper part of rubicon springs to ourselves. I might have counted 15-20 rigs all weekend.

What's the nighttime temps doing right now?

[arcthedog]

didn't have a thermometer. it got a little chilly at night, but it was nice and hot during the daytime
