Yes it will. I called, I can get thru the Park and just did a search on the CA road conditions. They had about 4" of snow, just hope it isn't too cool. Plus, I go on vacation late next week, down to Mammoth Lakes area. It's getting to be normal, early snow, so I either have to hike thru snow, do a road trip or stay close to home.

I'm stoked to hear of even a little snow. Spent a week there in July and could have sworn it was late September, so dry everything was.

Heat will be back full blast by the weekend.

Cheers,

In the Park, don't know if the Aspen will be worth looking at, leaves were dropping a few weeks ago when I was at Butte Lake for the weekend. Dried up already.
