Hi Balzaccom

Thanks for the photo's they gave me a good status report on the current
conditions of the snow levels and run-off in that area.

Thanks Paul, Very Nice Photos. You picked a great time to visit that area. Not that many people visit Le Conte Point.
Thanks Again!

Any clue how much snow was in the Vernon area. Thinking about heading up that way the first week in May... mid week.

I can only tell you that at 6500 feet there was about 6 inches of snow on the ground. In the morning, the snow was crisp and hard. By mid-day it was soft, slushy, and very slippery. I would guess that Vernon had a lot more snow---and it would not have been fun to be hiking in the afternoon...

Sorry, got booked up and did not get a chance to reply. Thanks, I suspect after this last run of warm weather the snow is pretty much gone.
