What is the best place to find out what the current snow level is in Sequoia?
I was looking at the webcam at Mineral King and it doesn't look like that much snow was dropped with the last storm.A friend and I wanted to go up into the Tableland above Pear Lake Thanksgiving weekend and
I'm not sure how much snow we would find up that way. Is there a website that would tell us
what elevation the snow starts.Nov 19, 2012 at 12:45 pm #1929666That's pointing at Mt Hood but you can scroll around and see anywhere in the U.S. and some of Canada
It's not perfect but it gives an idea. Like if it says the snow melted off on a particular day, it may linger for a few weeks, or if it says 6 inches, maybe it's really a foot. And it gives the average over an area that's like a square mile, so if you're looking at a narrow ridge, there could be significant snow, but average over a mile off the ridge there's little snow.
