i say channel like 24 or 37 or something. the other weekend every channel pre-20 was packed...

24 is good. We can re-engage at the McD's on Hazel and 50 prior to heading up the hill. There will be small flock of 3 or 4 XJs from Rocklin arriving at 8:30ish, so we'll see you there, rain, snow, or shine.

Jon, yo still going? Snow level may be 8,000 feet with the warm weather we've been having. Might be wheeling in the rain and slush. Let me know.

 

[blondejoncherokee]

hmmm. didnt think about that.
ill look into snow levels...

 

[blondejoncherokee]

yah the snow is supposed to be around 7000 ft. i think slypark is at 4000 ft?

 

[blondejoncherokee]

so sly park at the highest point is only 7800 feet, starts around 3500.

i dont think we will see much snow.
i think youre right, rain and slush.

"Beginning elevation is 3500 feet, with the high point at about 7800"

maybe push it back since its supposed to rain and snow this next week?

Sounds good, Jon. In addition to the warm weather, we also had some other cancellations, so let's try this again another time. We'll take a look at next weekend for starters.

Hey all ... I was up on the Emigrant Trail this last weekend (3/5). Going in at 9:30 was not a problem but coming out at 2:00 there was LOTS of slush and the snow was soft. One guy in a F150 w/ no lift was having to dig out every 100 yards or so. He had some buddies with him so there was lots of manpower. One good samaritan broke a strap trying to drag him out.

If it doesn't get a lot colder it will probably be a real mess next weekend.
