Anyone know if it's possible to get into Highland Lakes yet?

I don't know how to use this Landsat viewer, but i set a date range of July 6-16 to exclude more recent cloud cover. The road looks snow free to east of Folger Peak then there was some snow. Satellite resolution might not show the road even if it's clear. I can only sort of make out the road north from there to 4. Maybe 70-80% ice cover on the lakes. Looks like the base images were taken July 11.

Highland Lakes road barely discernible, Folger Peak center. Highland Lake bottom to right.

it will improve
Hopefully this doesn't mean Dodge Ridge will be increasing their ticket prices to match Bear Valley's

Owners of Southern California ski area Mountain High and Central Sierra areas China Peak and Dodge Ridge have now bought the Bear Valley Ski area and the Village.
Backed by Invision Capital https://www.invcg.com/ of Chicago, ski industry investors Karl Kapuscinski and Tim Cohee have purchased Skyline Bear Valley, including the Village holdings. The name of their company is the California Mountain Resort Company. This comes about a year after the group successfully purchased China Peak Mountain Resort.
The group has added Bear Valley Mountain Resort to their Cali Pass https://www.thecalipass.com/ski pass which gives pass holders access to all four of their mountain resorts plus additional passes to Powder Alliance resorts worldwide. https://www.powderalliance.com/#view-partner-resorts . Skiers will be able to still purchase a Bear Valley-only pass or the Cali Pass.
The sale closed today, November 1. After an 18-year period of Bear Valley being owned by two different Canadian commercial real estate companies, ownership now is in the hands of California local professional ski area managers.

Alas, with the ownership change at Bear, The Society for disABILITIES will not be able to give Bear vouchers this year, for the Thursday Nov 30 Warren Miller Company movie show at Modesto’s State Theater.
This movie remains as one of the Society’s main fundraisers, helping to support their Adaptive Winter Skiing Unlimited program, held at Dodge Ridge.
This year’s Winter Ski days are Jan 6, Jan 20, Feb 3, Feb 24, and Mar 2.
Volunteers are needed. Either driving the sit-ski, guiding someone, or just keeping the path clear for your group. Free lift tickets are provided, if needed.
It will be one of the most heartwarming days of your life.
Tickets on the Society’s website, or see Dennis at Sunsports, in Turlock.

Dodge Ridge has enough open to be interesting , if you don't care about your bases.
Based on their instagram post about being closed due to it pouring all over the mountain I'm wondering how it'll look tomorrow. Was going to do a midweek day late this week or early next.
Fun day at Dodge. At when I could see…
Tomorrow should be great.
I was impressed at how quickly they cleared the rollover, on the way home. Just drug it on to the flatbed - upside down, tied it off and took off.
Bear and Dodge are looking pretty good now. Elevation makes warm storms a problem. Grizzly lift at Bear is still not open. Yesterdays Sierra cement was fun. Seems like more people showing up for a midweek powder day.
Driving up to Bear Valley yesterday morning, it looked like winter had finally arrived. Great skiing the nearly foot of fresh and reasonably light. Coverage in the backside trees getting better and better.
it’s been good in the hood
