He's got Speed Radical toes and uses Voile cables for the down. He uses Voile heel risers for touring. ...

Thanks everyone.



Yeah, I remember meeting you after the Crescent. The same buddy was with me then that joined me on this trip.

We took a break at Topsy Turvy Lake, refilled water bottles, and picked up our shoes. We skied down as far as we could (instead of maintaining a high line along the granite bluffs) and then...

We decided to pack up and head home on day 4, despite having one more night's rations. Some of our other objectives (like the S side of Fiske) weren't skiable with the thin snowpack. We...

My buddy at Lake 11592, still stoked despite having to climb 2 more passes to get back to the tent:

We slogged back up the S side of Nietzsche Col. The climb wasn't too bad. A light...

Our plan for day 3 was to ski Goddard. We knew it would be a long day, especially since we were camped just shy of Lake Helen. There were 2 logical ways to get there, Wanda Pass and Nietzsche Col. ...

We were rewarded by good corn most of the way down The Black Giant. The very top was still a little firm, but most of the descent back to camp was great corn.

The ski down Solomons was awesome, great corn pretty much the entire way. The first couple of turns were steep and firm, but it quickly transitioned to money corn for the rest of the descent back...

Skiing down from Echo Col to Lake 11428 was good corn. The skiing was enjoyable, even with the heavy packs.

I had some time off from work at the end of April and beginning of May. The original plan was to ski the entire time in the eastern Sierra, but the grim snowpack had our eyes wandering elsewhere. ...

Awesome photos and TR Jorion. Sounds like a rad trip despite the meager snowpack

gimpy, I drove up that way Sunday. We were able to drive all the way to the Burt Canyon TH without encountering any snow. We parked there but the first part of the 'trail' is actually a dirt road. ...

Thanks. Only my partner is a dirty knee bending hippie. I’m a clean and respectable AT skier.

It’s fine with 2wd. Mostly a dirt road. Some small rocks but nothing significant.

There was a good place to park on the left before the snow started.
