just found a trip report from the may, 2012 trip, which ended with our crew skiing into a wild scene in the parking lot for the solar eclipse - it was a killer trip with a really fun crew of tahoe/truckee folks (we skied shasta the day before and a run on lassen was a perfect way to end the weekend on our way home).

the link has some cool pics...

-open the left tab in Google Earth and make sure Snow Depth is checked.
Mine always defaults to Snow Water Equivalent, so I gotta uncheck that and check Snow Depth.

thanks for the links jib - after posting, I checked the lassen national park page - the other links are pretty cool.

i guess i should have been more specific, but seeing the webcam in daylight, i think i have my answer...was hoping to skin up the road with the chariot (just to get out on snow), but it looks like we are going to have to wait until later in the season...
