FWIW, snowing right now in Mammoth Lakes...some sticking.
Looks like the summer season has turned white.

Re: Snow
the HWY 203 webcams are showing snow on your mountain (towards the bottom of the page):

Looks to be clearing now.

Re: Snow
Should not be around to long, temps will rebound going back into the 70's by Sunday
during the day, and into the 30's at night.

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.

Re: Snow
This snow will probably melt off, but north facing aspects of peaks and high passes will probably retain the dusting for quite a while

Re: Snow
Just got back from Bench Lake via Taboose. On Taboose last Monday, everything was dusted with 1 to 3 inches. On Friday, all had melted at the pass, but the peaks and terrain with lots of shade was still holding the snow. Conditions for the week were Indian Summer clear skies with light winds out of the west. Ice was in the water bottle a couple of mornings with frost on the grass but as soon as the sun cleared the ridge, the air warmed quickly and all the down feathers I had been wearing was shed to shorts and short sleeves. That was yesterday, sounds like the up coming week will be unsettled.
BTW, upper Taboose canyon fall colors were really showing, lower in the canyon, the colors were still green. After next week's storm, maybe the lower canyons of the Eastern Sierra will start to show.

Re: Snow
Next strorm means we need to plan the winter trips. skis and bindings and other appropriate gear in hand. I know i'm off late Dec through the first of Jan. Fishing might be out unless we have a real cold snap for drilling, but still an epic adventure.
