Missed all the snow in Yosemite this year, missed the moonbow last week - am NOT going to miss all the reflections in the flooded meadows!!
Anyone know the current conditions?
Anyone gonna be there early next week and want to meet up?
I hope to get out of here Sunday am, and be there Sunday afternoon, monday, tuesday.
Sandy,
I can't speak to conditions in the meadows, but last week I skied into Horse Creek on the very northern edge of the park. The snow line was at 8,500', but most of the southern exposures were wither melted out or melting quickly. Higher up, at 9,000' there was still lots of snow. Expect lots of snow in the north/eastern exposures. Have fun and best regards.

If you go to the Valley, hit the spots very early in the morning before the hordes take to the roads.
