How did I miss Josh Wray’s report this past week? Somehow it got buried by a load of email. Just found it. Fortunately, none of the areas south of Mammoth Lakes have neared peak, though all of them moved from Just Starting to Patchy. Here’s what he reported on Wednesday: Mammoth Lakes Basin (8,500′) – […]

This doesn’t seem to be the autumn to be investing in gold, at least up Bishop Creek. As, that commodity — among the aspen — is in short supply. A call to Jared Smith at Parcher’s Resort this morning was disheartening, at least for the moment. He reported that the snow that fell last week […]

Aspen forests populate seven viewing areas in Alpine County: the Hope Valley, Woodfords Canyon, Monitor Pass, East Fork Carson River, Ebbett’s Pass, Hermit Valley and Bear Valley/Lake Alpine.
