'Early' Season

The E. Sierra finally got enough snow to ride the backcountry.  Better late than never, but all the sunny, warm weather has been enough to make one depressed.  Well, not really, but still...

Two big storms made it actually feel like winter and created a decent base, although the conditions are definitely still early season, despite the fact that it's pushing Feb.

Mystery trees by Obsidian Dome.


Blue Crag on Mammoth Crest.  The snow up high was wind-hammered and a little scary.





TJ Bowl on Mammoth Crest.  The snow over here wasn't wind-affected and was really fun.  Some really nice protected chutes down lower.




Great to get out!
