Catching up!
Friday I skied at Mammoth with Mary and Dori. First time on the hill after the big storm and I was stoked to see how much the coverage had improved. Fun wind buff in spots and the groomers were top notch.
Crowds were getting thick though with long lift lines kicking in late morning. Really enjoyed the skiing though. Beauty day too.
Saturday I hooked up with Forest and we toured up the South Fork of Bishop Creek. Looking for soft snow in protected zones we elected to head up into the glades north of Tyee.
We wound our way around and up into a nice little chute.
Looking down canyon
A little too variable and a little too tight to let the skis run, but still good fun.
A view of the zone from the South Lake Road. We skied the open glade in the center and then bushwhacked out. I'd call the skiing fair to poor. Full value bushwhacking though.
Saturday Mary and I joined Jim and Elysia for a tour up near the June Lake Junction. We cruised up Forest Service roads to a fine view point.
Mary's first day in the backcountry. We found good, soft faceted snow in the shady trees.
Lunch at June Lake Beach was delightful. J&E are teachers so they're vaccinated.
Looks like this period of high pressure is about to end and more snow is due by the end of the week.
Bring it Old Man Winter!
