I didn't do any climbing yesterday, but I did drive though the park.

In case you're thinking about making the ascent, here's what Lassen looks like now.

OMG! That's all the snow it has in early May? That's w-a-y below normal for snowpack at this time of year in that area.

Did you drive all the way through the park, or just up to the peak's parking lot (as shown in the picture) then back out the same way?

Yep, it's really lean (almost nothing below 8K), but there's still enough coverage to ski/board down to the summer trailhead parking lot. Turns were good on Sunday, lots of folks out there ripping some corn.
