The seasonal closure of Hwy 2 is at Vincent Gap, not at Mt. High West/Big Pines.

Sometimes, during heavy snowfall, Cal-Trans moves the gate up to Grassy Hollow or Big Pines until the avalanche danger subsides and/or they get all the other higher priority roads in other areas cleared.

Roughly 1 inch at the start of the ski hut trail(from the road), and as I got further up about 2-4 inches in the good spots as of 2 PM Saturday.

Looks like could be an overnight snow fest up there so it'll be interesting to head up there once more!

AND! There wasnt even that many Koreans! And every one I ran into going up all gave me the right of way and going down let me pass as I was moving to get home! They were all really nice and I was suprised not to see 50 million people on a Saturday! Snow helps I imagine

There was quite a bit snow fall all afternoon today in Wrightwood and around Vincent Gap. I went for a bike ride to Dawson Saddle, but forgot good gloves, hands froze, long story short...snow was falling and I got wet. Nice day tho.
These was before flakes were really coming down.

oh yes...and Mile High Pizza.

Does any one plan to summit wilson sat? wil the white stuff still be plentiful?

Liz · Post by **Liz** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 10:04 am

Yup! My boyfriend, a buddy and I plan on hiking Wilson this Sat. We'll likely start in Sierra Madre. :-)

edenooch · Post by **edenooch** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 10:15 am

u guys doin the loop that goes thru mt zzion??

Liz · Post by **Liz** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 10:18 am

Yes, that's the plan. We'll be prepared for snow and some ice. I've done the trail a couple of days after a storm before.

Anyway, we're going up from Sierra Madre to the bench, then to Zion, up I think Winter Creek Trail to the summit then down the main Wilson Trail and then back via Sierra Madre. A lollipop. My friend is "organizing" us, as my BF and I have been too busy this week to think straight!

you can pretty easily tell the burn areas based on the snow accumulation pattern (no trees to collect)

Is it true the last 2.5 miles upto wilson summit are iced over?
Some one told me last night thats the shade side of the mountain and the chutes off the side ofhte trail are bad and some one died there already!
