Poking Around

I drove up Bishop Creek to take a look at conditions up there. Low expectations were met. 

Table Mountain is unskiable.

Ditto for the Tyee area.

Nothing doing up above Parchers in the Brown Lake zone either.

I did enjoy the XC skiing on the road. Was hitting asphalt with the poles here and there but the side roads were especially fun.

Today I toured in the Mammoth Lakes basin - again. Up in the Sky Meadow area - again. Visited some glades I like to frequent.

Unfortunately the last "storm" dropped only a little snow and came with a whole lot of wind, so most everything was wind affected.

The deepest trees still held good snow though.

Looks like we went from a low quantity/high quality situation to low quantity/low quality one.

Still nice to get out. Will probably focus on touring for scenery over touring for turns for now!
