Who’s coming with to snowboard on one foot of snow? I’ll be up Saturday and Sunday.

I lost patience with my pass to Meadows this year, and went up to Timberline on Sunday to finally get on snow this season. With early openings the last two years (at least, it would have opened early had the road not washed out), it’s driving me insane that there is absolutely no snow at all at the base of Meadows as I type.

After Timberline, we went on a hike from Meadows’ lodge to Heather Canyon:

My guess of November 23rd opening is obviously going to be wrong.  There’s no snow, even at ~7,000ft, where those pictures were taken.
