Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Any decent snow for snowshoeing in socal?

Pretty general question but i went up to baldy last week and went up san antonio falls rd.Snow was hard but there was powder on the east side of the chairlift at the top.Forgot the name of that junction.Without any new snow this week im wondering where ill be able to find good snow in socal for snowshoeing.

The San Gorgonio area was awesome last weekend. We started at South Fork.

do you have any links for trail maps,trip reports/photos,weather,permits,road conditions?thanks

The snow past Poop Out Hill isn't going anywhere for a while. From the trailhead to POH, it was starting to get a bit soft later in the day. I expect that by now, a decent trail has been laid to Slushy Meadows.

It's a great area. Next best thing to the Sierras. Have fun!

SHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Don't tell anyone, Yeti want's the San Gorgonio Wilderness all to himself!!!!

havent been able to find rough trail maps or mileage indicators on sgwa?Like how far south fork th to jepson bowl area?

also during the week do u have to get there to beat crowds or obtain permit?thx

how many miles before i hit good snow?thx

Here are some photos from last Sunday.
The SGWA has trail mileages here , but keep in mind that the winter routes don't always comply with the established trail. Lotsa snow back there--have fun!

But Yeti is off for a week till his toe heals.
Sooo....San G is open! No Yeti protecting its gates!

(rawr...)

Be nice Carole!
Yeti's have been known to formulate crazy revenge plots...like scaring unsuspecting camp mates in the middle of the night.

Remember, you need a wilderness permit beyond the overlook.
Rangers patrol there regularly.

i guess going there during the week is tough with traffic so do permits run out early?
