Storm has busted a bit - it's weakening and separating. The majority of the snow is probably over, whatever that means for tomorrrow.
Unless something changes, today is not an early last day of school so I'll probably not be making the trek.
Monday sounds good, though...

I don't know how to "ping" @SBrown, but DH and I are ensconced in Frisco and heading for the Basin in the morning. It was snowing hard when we pulled in. Hopeful for a good day tomorrow.
Will PM as well.
ping=PM we will be there too.
sweet.
Change in plans...we have to head back to Tahoe. Sorry all, it has been a great trip but as will all things, we have to get back home after this emotionally rollercoaster of a trip. We aren't sad that we are leaving, we are happy that we were able to make the trip!
It was nice seeing you at the Basin yesterday. Safe travels.
Dunno. I skinned up Baldy.
All dressed up and no place to park
This was around 8:30. Took an hour and a half from Frisco. Ended up creeping over the pass and then home. So many frustrated people were just dropping in off seemingly random parts of the road. Most of them without packs or any discernable backcountry equipment that we could see. Saw lots of mini slides too. Sure hope no one got hurt out there today. The Loveland pass looked like a normal day on the main run at out local hill. Crazy. You would think that CDOT could add a notice to the electronic sign at keystone so that hundreds of cars didn't make a pointless trip. Instead the sign said the pass was closed which was not so. Road was clear all the way over. Supremely sad to see Loveland looking so inviting with still lifts.
Never mind the scenery was beautiful. Nice to have one last view of winter before the looong hot summer.

Today was rough with enough sun to make the cream funky over the refreeze. Guess what was the best run on the mountain again?
Sure is pretty out there, tho', at least the stuff you can see with meaningful contrast

This is getting to be enough to be interesting...

Sure as hell wasn't me.

^^^woohoo! June F.I.T.S.
Tonorrrow is the only day in the medium range 7 day forecast that is supposed to be full on bluebird. After that it's unsettled NW flow with some small storms through the holiday weekend, which probably means crappy refreeze conditions for the most part.
Not sure if this is being noted or not, but Pali and East Wall look to make it through Memorial Day weekend. I wonder how quickly we'll go from reef to closed. #onelastday
