Same old snow

Reports say we’re at 89% of our normal snow fall. The berm at the Rubicon trailhead shows that, but the Homewood ski area was a little light on snow. No one had accessed the trail since the latest plowing that probably happened yesterday.

There appears to be quite the usage going on due to the ruts…

Further up the trail wheeled OHV use is very apparent, along with hikers and cross country skiers.

Placer County may have got the message about not plowing a dip. The current plow is straight down the road so there is no excessive berm at the trailhead.

Although I was in the trail Jeep, I wasn’t about to venture up the trail.

There will be many more storms over the Rubicon. If you go, be prepared for any type of weather. Be prepared to spend the night. Don’t go alone.
