Has anyone been riding there yet?If so what is the snow like?How far up 108 from the 395 side is the gate locked ? Thanks for any feed back

Gate is locked 5 miles in from 395. Haven't ridden up there yet, but after Sunday it should be all ready to go.

 

[Reno Tom]

It looks like south of Tahoe got most of the snow.Drove up to Mt. Rose today to check conditions.Above 8000' 2'-5' of fresh.Tomorrow should be good if it clears.

 

[MammothM8]

From what I read Sonora was the epicenter of the snow, got a lot here in Mammoth too. Thinking of Sonora tomorrow?

 

[Jblaze74]

Yea might check out rose tomorrow. Hope it's good!!

Sonora

Hey guy's I'm on the West side here of Sonora Pass you might check a Snotel site for that area . I was up to Kennedy Meadows late yesterday afternoon No Snow!! No snow on Hwy 108 at Eagle Turnoff. Drove up Eagle Meadows Road got some snow above 7000 ft. about 2 inchs.

Sonora Pass ST: 37 inches (3.08 feet)
Leavitt Lake ST: 70 inches (5.83 feet)

Snotel's look good further east.. above 8800' anyway. Its a long[er] drive for me, but seems to be the only place getting mostly snow out of these storms.

Hmmm... It really just seems the snow line is quite high.

Anyone riding rose tomorrow?

 

[Jblaze74]

I was thinking about scoping it out

 

[snowrdr]

Its deep was there yesterday, but its is also super sticky wet snow

 

[Madmax on a sled]

I think I'm gonna head up solo mid morning. If you see a white dmax/ dooride I'm sure I'll be looking for someone to ride with

Never been to Sonora and want an idea of what to expect if I go Tues. Can I unload at some rideable snow? Is it going to be a problem getting up to where the decent snow starts?

Thanks in advance
