Anyone know the chances of snowkiting along Highway 431 (north of Incline Village) or Highway 120 in the Tuolumne Meadows (Yosemite NP) in July? Both roadways climbed to over 8,000-9,000 ft. in elevation so i would assumed the snowfield there will likely melt a little later in the year. Thanks for any input.

What's up boys thanks for the info. When is Monitor Pass going to open for traffic? Looking at a 7.5 minute topo map of the area i noticed a gradual slope going up Mt. Leviathan NE of the pass, anyone ever try ascending that area? I was wondering what the wind condition will be like up there in early summer on a 7 meter Ozone Razor.

What's up Gabe, as you stated, being the highest road pass in the Eastern Sierra, Sonora Pass seems to be the logical choice. It look like there is a sizable meadow just immediately below the pass on its eastern flank (Sardine Meadow) on the south side of Highway 108, is this the area you are referring to?

I have friends that hit Virginia lakes on this last storm and said it was really good kiting. That is just pass the sonora pass road and on the way to Mammoth. I don't have any particualr spot in mind for Sonora pass. I just know that it is high and above tree line with plenty of open space. When it opens, I will likely go hit it.Cubensis wrote:What's up Gabe, as you stated, being the highest road pass in the Eastern Sierra, Sonora Pass seems to be the logical choice.
