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.

About

I started this blog back in 2002 or so for several reasons, including the following:

To archive and display photography from my outdoor adventures – mostly in California, but also in Alaska, The Yukon, and British Columbia. (These days my main photography web site is G Dan Mitchell Photography.)
To share stories from my hiking, backpacking, skiing and other trips.
To post and save links to interesting stories on the outdoors, the environment, and related topics.
To publish some information that I think might be useful to others, including my gear list (Equipage) and some trail guides (Trails) and trip descriptions.

NOTE:

This site is no longer actively maintained, though it is monitored. My “Dan’s Outside” website was very active some years ago, but I eventually transferred much of my online material to my photography website at http://www.gdanmitchell.com/.

For now the material on this site remains for archival purposes only. Eventually it may be removed.

Thanks,

G Dan Mitchell
