17 hikers stranded at 8400 feet in blizzard

17 hikers were left outside a locked mountain station at the Palm Strings Aerial Tramway in a blizzard (two pages)   Gale force winds gusting up to 118 mph were recorded.  The building closed up at 2.00 pm - seven hours early

One of the stranded hikers wrote this message. I dont know if this was mentioned before

1/23/2012
I am one of th 17 hikers stranded overnight at the top this past Saturday. When we got to the tram to go back down at around 4:30pm on Saturday, we were told by the ranger that the tram was closed and that we have to spend the night on the mountain. We were only prepared to do a one day hike, so we were not prepared properly to spend a nigh on the cold mountain (I believe the temperature was 20F). The ranger did not allow us to spend the night in his heated station. Instead, we were left with a shack, which we had to clear out, and create a makeshift door out of plywood. There was no insulation in the shack, so the temperature was as cold as the outside. The ranger provided some blankets, but was not enough to go around. Those who had blankets seem to be warm, but those who were freezing opted to build a fire outside when the winds died down to survive the cold.

The reason why I am giving 1 star is because it seems like the tram people didnt care about us at all. We went to the tram station to see if we can get inside, but was faced with a sign "TRAM CLOSED GO SEE RANGER AT RANGER STATION" handwritten in block letters from what seemed like from a 7 year old. The tram station was completely locked. The least the tram people could of done was to leave a person at the tram station to let us in and spend the night there. My friends and I paid the full $23 for the round trip, and we didn't even get a refund for the trip down the next day.

Some hikers half jokingly said that we should have just thrown a rock through the window of the tram station and say that the wind broke the window, and spend the night in the tram station, but none of us wanted to stoop to that level. We are civillized people, and would like to be treated the same.

Epic Skyline Weather Trip Report on Skyline 1/21/12

Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2012 4:44 pm    Post subject: Epic Skyline Weather Howdy All The Craigmeister, Cindy and I headed up prepared for a blizzard based on the NOAA site and other reports. The sunrise was gorgeous -- a blaze of red in the clouds. Ania and Greg passed us at the picnic tables. Before long, we were treated to a beautiful rainbow. I was dressed in shorts and t-shirt and donned a long sleeve shirt at 4 K when it started to drizzle. The weather looked very forboding but then sun came out. I got too warm and took the shirt off at the base of the 5 K ridge. We had a nice breeze on the Never Ending Ridge. Amazingly, we could still see the rainbow. We joked about finding the pot of gold at Flatrock. I thought I heard voices on the ridge. Sure enough, when we reached Flatrock we saw Tina, St. Patrick (Lilbitmo), Steve and Fern heading out. Caesar and Patti were up ahead as well. After a quick fuel break, we started up. It was awesome to be cool on the arduous climb and the rain had washed away most of the ice on the trail before the 7.4 K mark. There was a bit of new snow on the traverse and I donned microspikes at Coffman's. We could hear the wind picking up as we approached Grubbs Notch. By the time we were a few switchbacks below Grubbs, the wind was absolutely howling -- it sounded like a locomotive. We immediately headed up through the rocks to the tram to escape the artic gusts. For safety concerns, no trams were coming up but we were able to ride down. Said farewell to everyone at the museum and started the most treacherous part of the day -- driving home. The air was full of flying objects and the ground was littered as well. On top of that, it was sometimes impossible to see due to the blowing sand. I was very happy to reach the freeway (at least there the wind was blowing head on, not from the side). All of us were very happy that the weather turned out better than expected. Another great day with friends. Miles of smiles, Ellen Yosemite in time lapse video http://theadventureblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/video-yosemite-in-timelapse.html
