Yeah I read them too. I think this is the first time in 12 years they were able to ski from the gate by Lee Vining to TM is what I read. I hope we get a lot of snow this winter, we need it.

The last report of the season.

Those snow rangers in Tuolumne Meadows are on their way down, but have posted one last report from the High Sierra. As usual, it's a great read, with both info and photos. Check it out--and be happy that spring is on its way!

I look forward to their reports weekly. They are a real resource for us missing the Sierra through winter. I can't remember where I found an interview with them several weeks back but I came away from it seeing them as the perfect couple for the winter ranger task. It would be nice if they could continue reporting from their summer positions also.

Makes me yearn for one more ski this year. Do any of you know, in average snow years, if Saddlebag lakes will be skiable over Memorial Day weekend?
