Tioga Pass
Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2009 10:20 pmIs it safe to say Tioga pass is closed for the season?
Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2009 10:31 pmI know it's closed today.
Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2009 10:43 pmWe are getting pretty heavy steady rain here in Meyers/Tahoe....still to warm to snow
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2009 12:40 amTahoe is too low, but look at theKirkwood forecast: 28 to 36 inches above 9500 feet. If it really dumps that much I wouldn't be surprised if Tioga Pass was closed for the season.
Shasta sounds even better: 2 to 5 feet of fresh snow at higher elevations!

What is the earliest the pass has shut down? We're pretty early, but I would think there have been some anomalies.
It closed on 9/4 in 1943 & 1944, but the war years had shortened seasons. Since 1948, when it closed 9/4, the earliest has been 10/17, in 2004.

Them's some fast moving steer boy!
This is what I have outside my front yard as of 30 minutes ago...
Yesterdays awesome sunrise before the storm that I was blessed with outside on my front porch...
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2009 8:17 pmMammoth's web site now says they're opening this Friday, their second earliest opening ever. Now I kinda wish I had bought a season ticket last spring...
Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2009 9:03 pmIn my post above, expected to hear usual post storm news stories about some that were oblivious to forecasts and got caught up in the backcountry. And hear we go:

Note someone already posted other info on the "3 missing.." thread. What I'm curious to find out is how they managed to decide to take a week long trip at high elevations at a time of year when it is foolish not to look at long range weather forecasts?
