"This past Saturday, my buddy and I were gonna do an ascent of snow creek and avoid trespassing through DWA land. Instead we ended up driving home after the spectacle the DWA had put on around their land.
My buddy and I legally parked our vehicle in public land. As we parked a pickup pulled ...

I know you can read the charts for more accurate totals, yada yada... but I like to check in on these photos from time to time. Looks like the western slopes will be releasing plenty of H2O this spring and we just added a foot or two more!

Does anyone have conditions for Sheperd's Pass or Mt Williamson. Even conditions for Mt Tyndall would help. I assume decent snow pack above 7,000 ft. I am going with one partner in late April to do the Long Twisting Rib 5.4 III. I would appreciate any snow condition beta I can get.
Thanks,

What do you think?
Thanks

It's been a long time since i've been on-forum, but i'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction anyway. Different things i'm reading are telling me different and confusing things about where on Tyndall and Williamson one is allowed to be after July 1st. Can anyone clear this up, or at least point me towards the right office to call? (I'm a bit slow to call forest rangers, as i invariably get ...
