Yosemite With No Snow in January

By Rocky Thompson on January 9th, 2012

A guide company in Yosemite looked at the lack of snow in the valley and decided to take a hike up Half Dome sans cables. Standing at the top they shot this short video panning the floor. At least the park service won’t have to worry about flooding when the snow begins melting this year.

    Blurg. I’m guessing that Yosemite’s Ostrander Hut isn’t yet open for cross-country skiers, huh?

    Not a great season so far for winter sports enthusiasts. Things are bad out West and back East.
