That really piqued my interest in learning more about the area. Can't wait to go back up, although it looks like they're about to shut down Tioga for the season, so it may be May or June before I can check out the chutes in person. ;-) Thanks Michael, and thanks for mention the “bowl” in your initial response.

I vote Virginia Lake, I don't know the proper whether it is Little of Big but the one by the cafe/resort office. I think where you are standing is where they put the row boats. Thanks...I love these!! Hi Steven…

That "bowl" is pretty popular for backcountry skiing, and it turns out, there are a bunch of chutes you can access by going across the damn and hiking/climbing up. Imagine the fun for those intrepid enough to go for runs on "Chute Out," "Banana Chute," "S-Couloir," and my favorite named chute, "Poop Chute." Hmmmm. . . Wonder what the likelihood is that you could runout of snow and hit gravel or land in the lake?

I did come across a bear there on one of our hikes last year. I believe it’s Convict Lake, although I’ve never seen it with snow! I did come across a bear there on one of our hikes last year.
