Todays guidance and the ensembles, continue the trend, that this stormy period for California is just beginning and that it is likely to continue beyond Christmas. The main point here is that the eastern pacific ridge “retrogrades” during week 2 ) next week and that pulls the long wave west for more storms with good moisture taps. Snow Megeddon is an eastern colloquial term that is being used for not one storm but the accumulation of many between today and years end. There is a particularly large one, that will possibly hit around Christmas, the timing will be better kn own by this weeks end, A lot will depend upon how strong the AR is. There seems to be several weak ARs in store for the high country through years end.

Pass Matt out grooming today. Nice to see him The 07 Road was hammered
Hit LTS this morning at 8:30 AM. A balmy 3*. About 15 rigs already parked. It was full when we got back at 3:00 PM. Guys were parked across Hwy. 89 on the Cottonwood Rd. It's gonna be a logjam this weekend. Get there early. We rode the Independance Lake/Carpenter Ridge area. No problem with off-trail riding. Coverage was way better than we expected. Could pretty much go where you wanted. We had a few stucks along the way. Nothing serious. The snow should settle more before the next storms come in next week. One of our better first season rides. Pic is one of our favorite meadows -- Untouched. Ride safe folks.
Just got back home last night. It was raining but turned into wet snow at my house. We didn’t get much last night only about 6 inches of the wet stuff. It’s dumping it right now if this keeps up we’re gonna have a bunch.
Thanks for the update, Steve. Is the Bison cranked up and ready to roll? Looks like it's time. You guys have a great Xmas and New Years. See ya soon. Corona On!! ?
how do you get to ebbits pass from east side ? I called around and they said 89 closed for winter said great unload on the89 hotels near 89 4 jct said dont know.

Yeah Don the snow cat is running. Just about ready to go play with it again right now. We got another good foot last night. Were up to 2 1/2 feet and the last two days. Getting deep out here. Haven’t seen the groomer lately.
You come in from the Markleeville side. The issue is whether or not Cal-Trans closes the gate at the Monitor Pass junction(Hwy 89 & 4) or closes the gate at Wolf Creek(4-5 miles further up Hwy 4). If the gate is closed at Monitor and there is not enough snow coverage on the road, you're SOL. And the same thing can happen at Wolf Creek. Carbides and pavement ain't fun. As for places to stay, you could try Markleeville(1-2 places) or Minden/Gardnerville(much greater selection). Carson Valley Inn is good. About 30 miles to Markleeville(up 88 and hang a left on 89 at Woodfords).

And the "big white" is waiting to come in. It's gonna be deep at Trackman's Rancho.
Yeah Z got another foot last night. it’s a white Christmas up here. Dumping out there right now. Merry Christmas everyone.
This has turned out to be quite the series of storms. We’ve got about a foot here in the Honey Lake Valley last night and today. I just read the Boreal Ski report and they say they’ve received 16.83 FEET in the past three days. Bring it on!
More snow last night. All I can say is it’s getting deep out here. Nobody’s been down the 07 Road up here by my house anyway. Now they say were breaking records for snowfall in December. This is a good one
Got down to the parking lot today. Lots of snow. Got my jeep and trailer dug out. No grooming as of today. The 07 Road got pretty hammered out today. Best snow ever. 
The groomer came by my house last night at 1 o’clock. So the main roads groomed but now it’s snowing again.

Never really thought about riding California, but it's looking pretty good out there. It's it a pretty big riding area out there?
