Snow Stake Data: 20 inches and melting. Ski Location: Skied up the telephone lines from Green Rock Picnic Area to Mountain Meadow road. About 30 snow mobiles passed within a short period of time; had wished at this point that we had skied up in the trees. Tim Gilbert accompanied me on the trip. Sunny weather, no wind; fabulous day. Skied up Mountain Meadow road awhile then cut south across the highway to Sally Creek. Ended up at tele hill. The snow and quiet in the trees was delightful after skiing amongst the bubble heads. About 4 inches of fresh snow in the trees and on Sally Creek Trail which had not yet been broken. Tried a few turns on tele hill; snow was a little punchy. Ended the day early, about 12:30. Stopped at the Visitor information center and visited with Lisa Marnot. Said she could call me at the shop if necessary. Snow Data: Location: Tele hill off Sally Creek.
