Ebbetts and Sonora pass have opened
Other High Sierra passes have opened. Ebbett Pass/CA-4 opened on May 8, then closed Mon May 12 due to storm before re-opening. 9600'+ Sonora Pass opened on Thursday, May 15. More info at https://www.mymotherlode.com/news/lo...m-closure.html
Last year Sonora Pass opened the day after I could have used it to save 50 miles/~30 minutes of driving vs. going into Minden where I fill up on less expensive NV gas. This year, I skied Mammoth Thurs/Fri May 8-9 before driving home going all the way to 395/88 to get fast food.
On Thurs, I skied 740-120 after driving 2 1/2 hrs from South Lake Tahoe. (Mammoth is open 730-2 with one lift going until 3.) Friday, I skied 740-210 then after having one beer with tailgating friends, drove 6 hrs back to San Jose going past (closed for season on Easter) Kirkwood on CA-88.
Photos taken by my friend of me, his wife, telemarking skier in Speedo and a racer going over jump at Mammoth.
