Back from the Sierra
Little time to write about it or post photos just yet, so a quick description will have to suffice for now.
Drove over Tioga Pass on Friday through a snow storm that dropped about 5 inches of snow on the pass. After dinner at Tioga Pass Resort we continued on the BLM land east of Mammoth to camp. On Saturday we got in a good day of spring skiing at Mammoth Mountain and met up with Maureen and Joey from southern California for dinner.
Sunday was another ski day. My major success was finally managing to consistently link (somewhat sloppy) telemark turns. This had been tremendously difficult all winter but on Sunday morning it just clicked, and by the time I finished this turn was becoming quite comfortable.
On Monday we headed back over Tioga Pass and returned to the Bay Area. This trip once again marked a distinct division between winter and summer for me: snow on Tioga Pass on Friday and skiing on Saturday and Sunday, followed by a drive back through the Central Valley in 90-degree heat.
