Nice view, it must be tuff to keep working with that just outside the door.

It certainly is!

From today at Mt. Baker. The skiing was pretty reasonable as well.

@jmills115 dropping into Great Scott, Snowbird, UT, 9 march 2023. Even though Great Scott is skiing about as easy as it ever will right now due to all the snow, it's still an awesome looking, bada$$ slope.

A great singer will drop the microphone after an especially good performance. @John Webb drops his poles after skiing Great Scott cleanly.

PS: he also gave away one of his gloves to an adoring fan.

This is Mount Morgan just down the slope on 395 from mammoth lakes. As we drove south on a gorgeous day...the violent winds were already blowing west to east over the desert and blow snow off the top of this 13,747 foot peak adjacent to the John Muir Wilderness. My new iPhone 14 Pro just about begged to take this picture. I can stare it over and over...mesmerizing.

This is actually a photo of Mt. Tom at the bottom of the Sherwin Grade. Mt. Morgan (South), is on the north (right) side of Pine Creek, forming part of the Wheeler Crest and Rock Creek Canyon. And, just to add to the confusion, there is another Mt. Morgan just a bit further north behind Crowley Lake. One Morgan is in Inyo County and one is in Mono. In '05, two skiers were caught and killed in an avalanche on Mt Tom.

Thanks and I was literally just mulling that over...On my Topo Matt it IS Mt. Tom...my mapping App was showing it as Mt. Morgan but didn't seem correct. Thank you for clarifying!

So many incredible peaks along the 395 corridor...just a feast for the sense. I was at the Mt. Whitney visitor center and they had the super cool Topo maps and I bought the two connecting ones to cover the entire region. Seeing the Owens Valley and the rise of the Sierra just is so amazing and all the little features. So lucky to be able spend time there!

...& the spectacular views of the eastern sierra range just continue to the north of Mammoth on 395!

Like Matterhorn Peak just west of Bridgport, CA. ...

Skiing on skinny Teles & leather boots in the early 80's...

Cotton sweatpants, wool sweaters & homemade gators...

Somehow we survived & rarely saw another soul

Although one might day hike to many mountain places, to really experience those amazing places in the High Sierra, one really ought to summer backpack into wilderness. The below, downsized for the web, is for you Tahoe ski fans, in Desolation Wilderness right along the west shore of Lake Tahoe. Heather Lake, Lake Aloha, and the Crystal Range. My actual image is one of my largest, 23,400 by 12,000 pixels, an 8 column by 3 row focus stack and stitch blended image.

And that above image of Mount Tom... Up that canyon to its right 2 backpacking days in is this pleasant place to base camp at. Golden trout too:
