JMT- current conditions with pics

Tim Goodrich All Messages By This Member #76698 With all the talk of bridges and this being a JMT group, thought I'd post a couple photos of current conditions along the JMT. We set out Saturday from Main Lodge at Mammoth to do an overnight at the base of Mount Ritter and ski it the next day. Unfortunately, the avalanche gods had other plans as the way up Shadow Creek had numerous wet slides. While not large, the idea of being swept into Shadow Creek was not appealing. So, we turned around and ended up doing 16 miles, arriving back at Mammoth at 9:15pm. But at least we live to ski another day and seeing bear tracks on the way back was cool! The pic of the bridge is the one at the base of the Shadow Creek drainage- it actually has a bit of a cornice on it. As you can see, still lots of snow up there! Tim
