I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Have a safer backcountry experience by using the HST ReConn Form 2.0, named after Larry Conn, a HST member: http://reconn.org

From Howard's website:
Same model run shows main effects of AR effecting the Sierra between Mammoth Lakes south to the bottom of the Southern Sierra where some 10 to as much as 14 inches of rain may fall on the west side and most weather favored terrain. This may create hydro-problems for the Southern Sierra West Side. Stay Tuned! Although this is just a forecast of a model run, the event is getting closer time-wise.

and:
This 1st AR will precede the colder portion of the storm, mainly targeted for Northern CA and especially the coastal communities of Central and Northern CA, with a weaker extension into the Central Sierra. Nevertheless, some 2 to 4 feet of snow is possible over the crest by the end of this week. At this time. The Town of Mammoth will begin to experience the storm as rain Thursday night, with snow/rain mix Friday…Then all snow Friday night and Saturday. It is too early to forecast snowfall amounts in town at this time because it is unknown what the exact snow level will be at this time.
