We haven't had any precip since the end of November. The Mt Charleston Ski Center just closed the sledding area on the lower reaches due to lack of snow, but lots of rocks! We've had lots of sharp north winds and slightly higher than normal daytime temps, and it cleaned the lower reaches out pretty well. They are still skiing but that's at the 9000' level and they make supplementary snow as needed. There was some snow on Telescope Peak about the same time [late Nov.], but it's also thinned out pretty well.
This should be a photo of Titus Canyon Rd looking west, down from the 1st ridge line. You can just see the road wiggling down into the valley and then climbing up the 2nd ridge line, aka Red Pass. That's where the real loose, and STEEP, stuff is. Just a taste... [1st attempt at image attachment..who knows what will happen.]
Grass won't get green, it's a xeroscaped yard for me. It *IS* a desert after all...
YMMV
