SNOW!!! Up high (12K+) it was downright scary slick! Snowpacked and icy. I suspect USFS would've closed the road beyond Summit Lake if they'd known. Too busy collecting illegal fees, I guess. I'm still hoping to get back up for sunset if conditions allow. Sunrise and the whole day til about 1:30pm was pretty great.

I've somehow disabled uploads from my Droid phone to this forum, so no snow pics for now.

AHHHHH! I'm so angry that I didn't go up there today! I knew it was going to be good.

I hate you guys that get to go up there mid-week!

Can't wait to see the pics, TC!

Glad you made it back safely. When I was up there Friday we hit hail and sleet down to the visitor center. It was the first time the guy with me had been up there. We had to stop at the visitor center for a moment

Tell it like it is Morris. All day I was looking out the windows at work thinking...man those clouds look cool, wish I was somewhere to shoot.
