^^^Thanks for posting, funny I saw your photos on instagram and thought that looks like pinner, but they are down climbing so is it Mendenhall...scary spot to be in an earthquake.

Congrat's on...

Awesome!

So you could drive to about the McGee creek crossing around elevation 7898?

x2 on the book, someone mentioned there is now an app version. I would suggest roll into Convict Lake first timer to the Sierra. Scenic, easy access, lots of options. Kid mountain is also a good...

Tom looks awesome, I have dreamed about doing that one and getting excellent conditions, nice work. Pinner too.

Nice Pika photos, looking deep back there.

phattypowpow for early May most...

^^^Nice video, coverage looks pretty good down to the lake.

Nice photos guys, look like good ones.

Charge up the e-bike!

You proposed on top of Bloody!? Awesome! Was it a surprise for her?

Was tempted by 1000-oak's run, but the walking was easy and...

Don't get as many bro points as #vanlife when you sleep in your wife's prius, but can't complain about trip average mpg of 48 and sleeping at 9000 ft in a no camping lot:...

^^^good macgyvering. looking forward to your tr.

Skied East Chute University today, started down at 930, snow was perfect. Stayed skiers left down the valley and not too bumpy, skied to...

Perfect snow on Lamarck today, fun couloir!

Thinking something out of Onion valley tomorrow.

Anyone interested in overnighter to Darwin this upcoming weekend? Or looking for partner for something else?

Awesome work and tr's everyone.

The chutes on North look huge!

Sunday 4/23 Strong west wind moved in overnight, but I figured one of the gullies on north side of Kid Mtn would be wind sheltered enough for some good corn. Snow went right to the campground, so...

Saturday 4/22 booted and skinned up the Tungstar Bowls.

I had wanted to make the ridge line but the chute to the ridge had funky snow...

Did three day trips south of Mammoth last weekend. Nothing all that exciting, but skied some areas that require good snow years.

Friday 4/21, it felt like it got cold overnight (20's) in camp, so...

Road updates from inyo county Facebook for fishmas

Updated Conditions for Inyo County Mountain Roads

The Inyo County Road Dept team has been working extremely hard to clear...

^^^Was that you with the kayak or the pop up camper? We started out just after they pulled up. Kid had really nice corn despite the wind.

Perfect corn on north side of kid mtn today around 11. Did tungstar bowl yesterday, bUT backed of the upper chutes to the Ridge because snow was getting hot and wind slabby.

Lots of wet slides on all aspects today near convict lake.

Awesome TR AKbruin! Enjoyed the honesty and agree about post ski boot beers.

Excited to get up to the Sierra this weekend! Fingers crossed for overnight freezing and daytime spring conditions.

Wow, we to get after it.

Awesome AKbruin, I have been wanting to ski Mt. Tom for years...such a cool mountain.

Nice work jimw!

^^^Nice! I was just looking at topo maps and the Secor book the other day for that area. Would be cool to connect to June, although lots of flat.

Sunday 5/29 awoke to blue bird. Skinning toward Conness:

I think he took off from North peak, cool to watch:...

Saturday 5/28, booted up North Peak, with the goal to summit (or at least the summit ridge), but storm was moving in and we decided to go right to the North chute. Entrance looked easy enough, but...

Booted up Greenstone Ridge from the dam:...

Cool, hope Tioga stays open...planning to drive up Friday morning.

Should be open by Friday morning, right?

Sunday 5/15, we wanted to get an early start and have a shorter day with the hope of making it back to San Diego and avoid baby's momma drama, so did the finger off Sherwin Ridge.

Coverage on the...

Reminded me of the south park episode.

Saturday 5/14 I figured Tioga would be a zoo and nobody would be dumb enough to bother with Wineglass.

Spent a couple hours and a significant amount of energy trying to find away across the creek....

Friday 5/13 did Solstice Chute to Ellery Bowl

Perfect conditions for the drop in:

To what elevation could you drive up the Onion valley road?

Thanks for photos and condition update.
