- <p>Unseasonable warm temps for the first of May and the snow pack is getting hit with some of the warmest weather this spring.</p>
1. This week the snow line on the highway receded quite fast with the parking now around the Whitney, Gold Hill road junctions. 2. The trailhead at Ruth Lake is still under feet of snow.
Slopes around the compass have gone through a wet loose cycle with some heavy dense debris stacking up.
It's not every season that a person can ride over the roof of the Mirror Lake Guard Station.

Trail conditions quickly softened and became mostly unsupportable early in the day. Many slopes have gone through a wet loose cycle with lots of wet debris on all aspects.
