Resurrecting this thread b/c the 2022-2023 season isn't done yet. We had a blast on a road trip that started in Vegas, through Death Valley (forecast high was 124F and van thermo read 126F (while driving), got a little scary when I smelled radiator coolant leaving Death Valley. Spent 2 days skiing in Mammoth (conditions were surprisingly good considering temps were in the 70's, but you got to get there early as it gets sloppy and they run from 7:30 until noon). Finished the trip driving through Inyo and Yosemite, and stayed a night in Marina Del Rey.
Valley Nevado next week.
