Snowpack in the sierras


Snowpack in the sierras is huge right now. It makes me a bit worried I have to say. I'm wishing I could ski through them because I know when I crest those passes and see the slopes down that I'm going to be wishing I had my skis... But who wants to carry skis through the sierras if there is a lot of dry ground? I doubt there will be any, if they even let us in around June 15. I took this picture today at about 10,000 feet at Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe. The snow wall is over 20 feet high. Sure, it's not like that everywhere but it's at least 10 feet in the places where snow generally stays... I wonder what this will mean for the class of 2011?
