in Nsnow, Snow
I was bummed for having gone to Heavenly last wednesday for a so so snowfall when kirkwoo dwas doing a lot better as usual, so this time we went up for forecast storm on sunday afternoon (easter day).
Jennifer and I drove up with chains right after our easter party at Brian's and it was pretty deserted. Chain control was honor system style and we drove past the supposed chain control past Dew Drop and made it all the way to Ham Station. By then, we kind of hurried to Carson Spur and ended up crossing around 20:20 when Caltrans closed it by 20:50. Pfew!

waiting, and waiting, and waiting...
nice tracks, just being careful about not getting stuck
it went deeper than that, but didn't want to go there, since getting out was hard :)
Palisades was really nice, but not getting stuck at the bottom was key
