The weather was mild this winter with lower than normal precipitation and snow. The front country is open and the back country is opening up quickly as well. If you’re planning on going out in the Emigrant or Carson-Iceberg wilderness areas, please check with the Summit Ranger station in Pinecrest for the most current conditions.
