Dave,

I haven't seen any yet, but I haven't backpacked the area yet this season yet. The slopes are still open, so that's where I've been. My friend lives in town and almost hit one (fast downhill path in town) while on his bike. I saw a bear terrorizing a rest stop 5 miles north of Mammoth beginning of April.

I always carry a bear canister just so I don't have to worry about it.
