In contrast to this season (so far at least), 2016/17 was absolutely epic here in the Sierra. AKbruin's rad TR (https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...rra-A-Memorial) inspired me to share some of my photos from last season as well. Many of these can be found in the Eastside and Tahoe threads, but what the hell, it's nice to have them all in 1 place.
Here are some highlights from last season.
November 25, 2016: Mt. Rose area. 1st turns of the season with AKbruin. Some pow, some sharks.
December 17, 2016: Mt. Rose area with AKbruin. Fun meadow skipping in the sun.
December 18, 2016: Carson Pass to KW with AKbruin. Cold as hell, and nothing but wind board, but a great day out nonetheless.
December 28, 2016: Bridgeport with somethingclever and 1 other. We bailed on our objective (Doodad couloir) due to stability concerns and skied mostly breakable crust back to the car. But hey, we were in the Eastern Sierra!
December 29, 2016: Virginia Lakes with somethingclever. Skied South Peak. Bluebird day, good snow, no complaints. Some random dude on the skin track:
January 15, 2017. Job's Peak Jaws Couloir with AKbruin and 1 other. My first big day of the season. I flew to CO for a few days prior to this to do a hut trip with some buds. Skied fun, mellow pow in CO. I remember landing in Reno, seeing all of the snow down to the valley, and realizing it was game on!
