Best to launch from the Pass proper. The big sugar pine parking west of the Pass had sections of open meadow.

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.

The hwy and forest generally aren't restricted. I would not hesitate to ride bike up the hwy if interested. I'm still out but sounds like an awesome trip!

Hi Rob,

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?

Good on ya!!

Thanks Rob,
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.

I haven't yet. I started looking at that area with a map a lot closer last couple years tho. Kind of an untapped adventure zone.

Hi Rob,

Do you have any experience skiing the Bald Peak area off of Clark Fork Road or Night Cap Peak climbing out of Kennedy Meadows?

Is there anything else in these areas worth skiing?

Thank you,

Mark

Thank you for the information.

oh, and also, I think Team Duncan goes up from Pinecrest Lake side.

Yep, didn't realize the name, but found it on another map. But yeah. The pull out is at the turn off for FS road 5n32. Mellow skin up and out. Some boulders along the way that looked interesting.
