The Endless Winter
Janine, Dan and a large group of friends are headed into the Sierra for 5 days of work; alpine climbing and ski touring. The Sierra got wind of this and decided it would be best to do a little tidying up of the backdrops with nearly a meter of fresh snow. Not sure if that is what we really wanted, but we got it. Plans have been adjusted accordingly.
Today we thought it important to do a little, uhhmm uhhm, “scouting”. What we found was an amazing amount of powder for April in the Sierra Backcountry. Last week we were skiing corn and even had reports that a good harvest was found at 13,000 feet. Corn & flip flops turned to powder. This truly is the Endless Winter in the Eastern Sierra Nevada. The Sierra have been the perfect host for our winter stay. Much appreciated.
Next week we’ll have a batch of Eastern Sierra photos and hopefully tales of turns and sun.

Wow! 75 out of 95 days! Not to shabby. You two are such an inspiration, and your photos rock.
Thanks Ben, and my mistake – 75 days this winter… to be edited.
Thanks for not taking ALL the moisture out of those storms ….SW CO has been doing quite well recently too! Love it!
