Good news snow lovers. It was snowing at Banning Pass (el 2600 ft) as I drove in to Palm Springs this morning (Wed - twenty eighth), but it did not remain on the freeway.
There is six inches of snow at Long Valley and the peak was socked in with clouds. It was 14 degrees at Long Valley at 10.15 am this morning. It looks like about a foot of snow at the top of the Skyline trail, but some of this should burn off by the week end. The snow level is below 6000 ft but will rise quickly. The phone number for the tram is 760 325 1449 or 760 325 1391 and the Ranger Station is 760 327 0222 for a recorded message.
