backcountry snow Mammoth area

Post by overheadx2 »

The wife and I stayed at Tamarack lodge last weekend and the snow coverage was sparse. Last week before the snowstorm Thurs, they were busing skiers to the Mammoth Pack station area. Lake Mary Road was skiable, but not for long with out more snow. Probably had 3 -5" with some thinner parts. The snow was better up higher, and probably a foot of good snow up to Mcleod Lake and Mammoth pass. We went up Emerald Lakes trail toward Duck Pass and had some pretty good snow as well, but still a little thin. Phil

One can also get a peak towards the Minarets and Ritter/Banner here: https://www.mammothmountain.com/winter/ ... summit-cam :)

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Have a safer backcountry experience by using the HST ReConn Form 2.0, named after Larry Conn, a HST member: http://reconn.org
