The Dave Peterson Memorial Tioga Pass Camera is in place and taking photos. However, we are waiting for permission from the park service to access their internet. The phone line internet access at Tioga Pass was removed when the park switched to a satellite internet provider. At this time we do not have permission to access thier internet link and we are unable to relay images. .

Note: You must be logged in to add comments2011-08-25 15:28:01 There was an update about the Tioga webcam posted July 11. I've copied that text into the Tioga web cam info section above. —KeithWinter
2011-09-01 14:07:29 Keith, thanks for the update on the Tioga Pass Webcam. And the fishing is still great. —EricDavis
2011-09-04 07:34:44 its still sooo green up there i cant wait i think i will be up there in 2 weeks i hope the weather holds —JohnMorris
2011-10-04 13:19:26 Well kids, NOAA sees a few snow flakes in your near future. I am take out 6 months of history unless someone beats me to it. —EricDavis
2011-10-05 10:37:54 Wow! That's a lot of snow for October 5! Looks like enough to ski on up on the mountain. :-) —KeithWinter
2011-10-05 10:44:56 Looks nice today - let the snowstake watch begin. Eric, yes feel free to delete the old comments. I was thinking the same thing. —BobRynd
2011-10-05 13:32:16 Received about 7"- and it is snowing off and on all day. staying cold at 30-32 degrees. I need to do a costco over Ebbetts pass run next week... am trying to find an accurate forecast for Mon-Thur???? —SusiLewis
2011-10-05 13:50:23 96 days since last snow fall!!! —GregMontgomery
2011-10-05 16:01:32 Susi, NWS says mostly clear Sunday through Wednesday —CharlesRead (Considering it rained on Monday I guess this wasn't a very accurate forecast)
2011-10-06 10:09:10 I see a foot of snow on the webcam from yesterday, is it down and how much new snow? —StaciaSimmons
2011-10-06 12:56:44 weather software was quitting unexpectedly yesterday. I tried to fix it remotely and then the weather computer locked up. Nothing more I can do remotely so bringing it back up will have to wait until Saturday. In the meantime streaming video link above still works. —CharlesRead
2011-10-07 06:50:57 Keith, I've said it before, I'll say it again. I love the Angels Camp weather and cam —BobRynd
2011-10-08 08:32:57 Thanks, Bob! I enjoy making the weather info and webcam available. I'm glad you find it useful. —KeithWinter
2011-10-10 16:52:30 You know kids, it seems wetter and cooler than normal. But, the wet sure put and end to any fire dangers. —EricDavis
2011-10-11 09:03:51 Wednesday, October 12, 2011, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) will lift the suspension of burning on private lands within the Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit. This includes the counties of Calaveras, Tuolumne, and those eastern portions of San Joaquin and Stanislaus that are within the State Responsibility Area. —BobRynd
2011-10-11 09:04:39 All this wet got my burn pile wet!! —BobRynd
2011-11-06 10:17:20 Well kids, it does look like it is safe to burn your fall mess. —EricDavis
2011-11-07 10:45:54 My neighbor and I share a burn pile. It is done. Man, It's a huge acorn season. It seems like every two years it literally "bombs" acorns! —BobRynd
2011-11-11 09:31:49 There was another update about the Tioga Pass webcam and I've updated the note above. The good news is the camera is up and running; the bad news is that they have not been able to gain access to the Park Service internet connection... —KeithWinter
2011-12-13 10:26:55 Somebody needs to start doing a snow dance!!! —GregMontgomery
2011-12-18 10:49:20 Ya i was gonna ask who forgot to turn on the snow its crazy it snowed until July and now its December and theres no snow to speak of :( —JackNorris
2011-12-24 08:36:05 wow can any one think of anuther year like this? Is xmas and there is NO snow on the ground in the mountins —JackNorris
2011-12-26 10:41:22 And when was the last time all three (4, 108, 120) passes were open at this time of year?! —KeithWinter
2011-12-27 21:59:50 1941... december 2... my uncle had his jalopy up at Mosquito fishing.... no snow, pass clear, when the announcement came over the radio that Pearl Harbor was hit. and they promptly got in their jalopy and headed back down to organize their enlistment. —SusiLewis
2011-12-27 22:01:46 or was it Dec 4? sorry may have my dates mixed up. It is such a great story of his though. What other year was the Mt Resort AND the Pass open at the same time? —SusiLewis
2011-12-28 19:24:50 Well dang kids. This was about the time we started the lotery on when the pass would open. Shoot we might do it for a pass clossing instead. —EricDavis
2012-01-03 16:01:16 If it closes at this rate it may not :/ —JackNorris
2012-01-03 19:57:00 Is the pass open again?? That's real bad! —GregMontgomery
2012-01-04 05:53:39 kinda freaky isn't it ? —JackNorris
2012-01-04 09:26:02 Despite the lack of snow, the skiing is still fun. Spent 4 days skiing, but only a couple hours a day. don't throw away that season pass yet! Also did some "ice skating" on Lake Alpine and Mosquito Lake. Among friends we have a pool going for when the stake will hit 3 feet...varies from Jan 12 to Feb 10. —TinaDuncan
2012-01-05 09:58:30 I agree Tina. We skied a few days last week and had a lot of fun. We'd do some runs and then take a wine and cheese break, kick back for a bit, then go out and enjoy a couple more runs. More social than skiing but we had a great time. I don't have ice skates but have seen pics of people on Mosquito Lake skating. Take advantage of that as that doesn'y happen every year. —BobRynd
2012-01-05 16:36:43 hay guys if it not to much of a inconvenionce next time your up at Mosquito Lake would you take a few pics and post them :) —JackNorris
2012-01-06 16:11:46 The above image was take on Christmas Eve 2011 at Mosquito Lake. Sorry my family is in all my pics (my mom and daughter here). Ice was over a foot thick! —TinaDuncan
2012-01-06 17:12:21 Great picture, Tina. Wow, a foot thick! We don't often have the chance to check out Mosquito Lake at Christmas; the pass is usually long closed by then. —KeithWinter
2012-01-10 05:55:48 thank u very much it is so perty there right now But i realy do hope it snows real soon —JackNorris
2012-01-18 19:43:27 About this time each year some fool wants to start the "let's guess when EP will open".. This year it was closed today because it is "going" to snow. This is one odd year. —EricDavis
2012-01-19 14:26:53 It is 2:30pm on Thursday and we are finally seeing raindrops here in the valley (Discovery Bay). Starting my snow chant: SNOW, SNOW, SNOW! —TinaDuncan
2012-01-19 16:26:49 Whats all that white stuff all over the ground? I hope we get alot more of it:) —JackNorris
2012-01-21 07:45:08 Hay it looks like you guys got about 6 inches of snow i cant realy make out the numbers onthe pole i sure hope theres alot more where that came from —JackNorris
2012-01-21 09:14:51 we had about 5" before the rain began. It poured until about 1 am- then turned to snow. Had that amount of rain been in snow, we would have 2-3' by now. This morning shows about 3-4" of new heavy snow. —SusiLewis
2012-01-21 16:52:06 Nice looking snow. Keep it up thru Monday. Avery Middle School begins skiing next week and they love the snow. —EricDavis
2012-01-23 11:22:47 Nice snow... look fwd to coming up mid week soon... —TonyZuccarino
2012-01-23 13:18:03 Charles, I really like the new pan/tilt/zoom camera on your streaming page! Lots of fun to pan around and zoom in on things. Great job! —KeithWinter
2012-01-23 13:47:43 Thanks Keith. Glad to hear you enjoy it. It's useful for zooming in on the snow stake when the numbers are hard to read. —CharlesRead
2012-01-23 14:20:46 Looks like 2 1/2 feet of snow and that is all new. But, the next week looks dry. We could us another 5 or 6 feet for the spring thaw. And I also really like the the new cam controls. —EricDavis
2012-01-23 15:43:30 Finnaly —XavierQuintana
2012-01-23 15:43:48 Finnaly snow in bear valley —XavierQuintana
2012-01-23 16:37:59 Looking forward to getting the snowmobile out this next weekend. Hopefully the snow won't all melt before I get there. —PhilLaMar
2012-01-24 11:00:30 re snowmobiles and avalanches, check out this video for a tiny avalanche and how quickly and deeply it bured this rider... scary.

2012-01-24 11:42:35 Wow! Scary indeed. —KeithWinter

2012-02-09 12:38:11 NWS is forecasting some snow in the current 7 day. —KeithWinter
2012-02-13 13:54:05 Nice to see a little snow. This could give the snow pack checkers something to do next month. —EricDavis
2012-02-25 16:34:04 RIP Dave Johnston. We'll miss you terribly. Bear Valley will never be the same.... —TiaPlough
2012-02-27 15:00:08 Yes I agree. Dave for me was the personification of the Bear Valley Village. He was always friendly and smiling. I was sad to hear of his passing. —CharlesRead
2012-02-28 15:37:08 I've been thinking about Dave for the last couple of days. What a wonderful person. I always looked forward to going to the store and saying hello. He was always in such a great mood. What a loss for the Bear Valley community. —PhilLaMar
2012-02-29 14:28:21 Yes, It is a sad time for Bear Valley. As Charles said, Dave really exemplified the the term, "It takes a Village". Dave Johnston was a huge part of this village. I didn't know Dave as well as many of the local Bear Valley folk but everytime I was in the store he gave me the comfortable feeling that we have been friends forever. Always a smile and a "How ya doing" Dave was truely a gentleman and will be missed. —BobRynd
2012-02-29 16:05:18 In case you kids missed this one.

2012-03-03 17:15:26 I just found out about Dave's passing... Bear valley will truly never be the same without him, he will truly be missed —XavierQuintana

2012-03-19 07:38:13 Yes I was starting to wonder if we were ever going to be above 3 feet this year —CharlesRead
2012-03-26 13:28:26 Charles, we need a little more snow by this Friday. Avery Middle School will be have another Ski day at Bear Valley —EricDavis
2012-03-26 15:21:44 Well it looks like you will get your wish with a storm rolling through on Tuesday night and Wednesday. —CharlesRead
2012-03-28 07:58:57 Charles, nice live webcam... the controls work well, albeit with a bit of delay. Nice upgrade! —TonyZuccarino
2012-03-31 15:47:39 Tony , when are you going to visit us. BV will have to close soon for the deer or is it elk? —EricDavis
2012-04-13 06:16:53 Eric, looks like I won't make it at all for this whole ski season. May come up in the summer though. —TonyZuccarino
2012-04-13 12:36:00 Kinda fun seeing the stake at the 6 foot level. —EricDavis
2012-04-13 12:36:55 Tony, what about the BV Music Fest? I am there , how about you? —EricDavis
2012-05-08 11:21:17 Snow is going, going, and gone(almost) —BobRynd
