Love that @bishopclimbingrangers provide the community with these very helpful updates. No doubt they diminish disappointment, are epic-preventing, and keep folks safe. 🙏🏼 #Repost @bishopclimbingrangers ・・・ Wow! What a wet start to the year! Thankfully, we are finally getting back to that familiar Bishop winter weather. With full sun and daytime highs creeping back towards 50 by Sunday, expect the Tablelands to be popping. Many other areas are snowed out for the time being. We are looking forward to serving some of that delish Black Sheep Coffee on Saturday from 8-10am at the Pit.  Other fun events at the Pit Campground this weekend include:  -Night Sky Program Saturday from 6-6:45pm (see post from @esiaonline) -Plein Air art meetup Sunday from 11am-3pm (see our post from 1/15 for details). Current Conditions: ❄️Buttermilk Country❄️: The main area is still covered in 2.5-3 feet of snow. Expect the Milks to be snowed out for at least a few weeks (maybe longer). 🌞Owens River Gorge❄️: The best access to the ORG right now is the approach from Lower ORG parking. This approach is plowed to the power plant but still has patches of snow and ice in spots. The Central approach is under 4-6" of snow. The top of the Upper ORG is under 9-10" of snow, with a bunch of snow in the approach gulley.  ❄️Pine Creek❄️: Most areas are under at least 4 feet of snow. ⚠️The road is currently closed at Rovana. 🌞Tablelands💧: A lot of sunny routes are dry now, but expect small amounts of snow, water, and ice in fully shaded areas. The ice caves area in the Sads is still flooded past Shizaam. If you are planning to hop on Beefcake or Aquatic Hitchhiker, bring a snorkel for the first few feet of the problem😆. #tablelands #bishop #ESIA #sierranevada #bishopclimbingrangers #easternsierra #sierraforever #publiclands #educate #inspire #explore #educateinspireexplore https://www.instagram.com/p/CnnsbuCrcfVM_w_oFWNgExCFBJSasOBp6rBIWk0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
