Mt. Shasta and the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range | Road Trip To Arizona.

In this part of my return drive to Washington I started out in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. I made a stop in Reno before continue on to Mt. Shasta where I did some snowshoeing.

I am guessing that this is at least a few weeks old---even at high altitudes, April seems a bit late for that much snow!

You may be correct but, it sounds to me like you've never been in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. There can be snow until July sometimes and it will only be snow free until late August or September sometimes.
The infamous Donner Pass averages 411.5(10.45 meters) inches of snow every year and has been documented once at 800 inches (20.32 meters) and that is South of where this man is in the Sierras. The more North you travel, and of course the elevation determines the snowfall continuing later in the year as well as how long it lasts on the ground. There are patches scattered as well as glaciers year round in the Sierras.
Typically late May is when the higher elevations and passes, Sonoma and Tioga, open their roads to the public. So that should give you some useful info about the snow in the Sierras.

Yes, this was filmed back in the end of February.
