Skelton Lake

With an inch or two of new snow falling overnight I just had to go up and check out conditions in the Mammoth Lakes basin. I brought my Voile skis with waxless bases and enjoyed the kick and glide up to Skelton Lake and beyond.

 First stop was at Emerald Lake. Cold, crisp air and the freshly fallen snow. Magic

Soon I was at Skelton Lake (named for prospectors) with Pyramid Peak above.

Fine winter scenes as clouds rolled in and light snow began to fall.

Heading home

 I enjoyed a few fun turns in the forest on the way out, but the weather and the scenery were the highlights today.  Winter is back!
