Does anyone know the snow conditions at Dike Wall Mammoth Lakes? I know the north side will have a huge bank of snow but how about the south side. Thanks

Still tons of snow throughout the Lakes Basin. The rode open just past the falls above Twin Lakes, The roads to Lake Mary and George are also plowed. The photo is on the road to Lake George. Actually heading out to go ski that way in a bit. I will try to get some more photos.

Skied right by Dike Wall today, never been there before so I can't exactly tell how much snow there is, but it doesn't seem too bad. Heres a photo.

Wow, that's a lot of snow still. "Not bad" at the Dike wall, well if you want to snowshoe uphill to get there! And maybe skip the first bolts... : )

That's going to take a while to melt down, if it does at all on the North side.

How about the road into Clark Canyon? Anyone know? I imagine the snow might be gone but not sure about the mud...please advise if you've been out there.

a bit wet on Black Dihedral and the first few moves of Cromagnon, but otherwise, good to go on the east face. As for the north face...
