Recent Observations:
- Yesterday's precipitation brought about 1-2 inches of snow at high elevations. Castle Lake and the Eddies received just under an inch. Near treeline temperatures averaged 31.5 ºF. Westerly winds were light. The height of snow at Old Ski Bowl is 44.5 inches.
- The best snow surfaces for sliding, riding, and climbing will be in gullies. Moraines and ridges are devoid of snow until 10,000 ft. Above, skiers and climbers have found good conditions below the Red Banks.
- For climbers, rockfall is being observed in Avalanche Gulch. Wear a helmet and start early if making a summit attempt.
- It is difficult to find continuous snow out of Bunny Flat up into Avalanche Gulch, though your best bet is to hug the base of Green Butte Ridge until you get above treeline.
- You can now drive to within 1.5 miles of the North Gate trailhead, but a high-clearance 4x4 is recommended. Clear Creek and Brewer Creek trailheads still have several of miles of snow on them.
- The season is over for now for the Tri-Forest Snowmobile Trails. It's time to put the snowmachines away for the summer.
- Gray Rocks snow survey on 3/27/2022. The pictures below tell the story. We walked 7 miles round trip with our skis mostly on our back. The average height of snow at the course was 23.5 inches, with a water content of 10.5 inches. Lakes are beginning to melt out and many of the trails are free of snow. Our vehicle was parked at the Fawn Creek Bridge up the South Fork of the Sacramento River. Patchy snow limited access past here.
Mountain Weather:
It looks to be a calm couple of days on the mountain. Aside from a few high level clouds, it should be a sunny day. Winds will be calm to light. Nighttime lows near treeline will barely reach freezing. Highs will be in the low to mid 40s. More clouds will drift in tonight but no precipitation is expected through the end of the week.
