Old title: SAR In Progress, Sequoia. Condition reports needed

Campers:

There's three overdue skiers on the High Route (Tyndall to Lodgepole in Sequoia Park). If any of you have been out skiing between April 1st and today (6th), we're really interested in skiing conditions, winds during the storm, snow accumulation, your estimate of avalanche hazard, traveling conditions etc.

Also, if you've just come off the High Route or skiing in Sequoia or Kings Canyon, call Incident Command at 559-565-3711 and report your observations. If that number gets no answer, call 565-3195.

The route will be flown tomorrow, so the hope is they were just bogged down in the storm.

If you were on the east side during the storm, posting your weather/conditions observations here would be helpful.

Thanks!
