Last post by hyster350 - May 26, 2020, 08:43:45 PMHi Rob,
Thanks for all the backcountry skiing information this season. Sunday a friend and I skied Leavitt Peak and we skied down Blue Canyon to 108. We started walking up the highway to the pass then a guy and lady in a Toyota truck picked us up and gave us a ride to the pass. If you know them please tell them we are very thankful for the ride.
The Blue Canyon was ski able just about all the way to 108, there was one spot where we had to take our skis off. Next weekend there probably wont be enough snow to ski the lower sections.
I also skied No Name Peak and a chute off the McKay Creek near Sardine Falls.

Boarder and a couple skiers got hitch rides back to the Pass in the back of my pick up yesterday. So the run down to blue canyon must be rideable.

I am planning on skiing Night Cap Peak area Saturday; either climbing out of Kennedy Meadows or bicycling up the highway to near Chipmonk Flat then climbing up from there. Is it legal to bicycle on 108 past the closure gate? Do you know of anyone that might be interested in skiing this area with me?

I explored the Clark Fork area. From the end of Clark Fork Road the trail goes just about to the base of Stanislaus Peak. There is good snow coverage on North facing slopes and the snow is not suncupped.
