Our Tuolumne Meadows winter rangers ended the year with rain, but that was quickly (and thankfully) followed by more snow. There is now about six feet of snow at Tuolumne Meadows (8,600 feet/2,600 m elevation) and more in the forecast. As you can imagine, this makes ski conditions quite variable. With not much time in between storms, snow hasn’t had time to settle so it can be slow and arduous to get to your destination. Avalanche activity has been observed along the Tioga Road and other areas. It’s extremely important to be prepared when venturing into the wilderness in winter.
