n/aThe first run was wet and the snow was sticky and soft (keep in mind that this
was at 8:00). by 9, the snow was alredy being bunched up and it was hard to do
anything super super fast. By 10, there was water in the snow (standing
water), and it was extremely warm (like 65 degrees). By noon, there were
creeks in the snow, and they continued to dig deeper and deeper into the
snowpack as the day went on. by 4, there were bare spots here and there, and
the creeks ate through all the snow, so it was really messy. They closed that
day. :(

Sierra Summit is located at Huntington Lake in the Central Sierra about 50 miles East of Fresno off Rt. 168. Real fun mountain, great family atmosphere and inexpensive lodge (with cozy apres bar) located at the base. As the crow flies it is about 20 miles southwest of Mammoth Mtn, which means it gets plenty of snow.
