Mike Scwartz at The Backcountry was super kind and helped me set my brother up with a super nice setup, and all kinds of beta...
skinning up the road you used to be able to drive on, Spring Creek. This road has recently been closed to backcountry vehicle traffic due to the US forest service hating backcountry skiers....damn hippies dont spend any money!
MOving up towards sweat hill, and its already hot.
Sweat Hill, so long and so many switchbacks, yuck. But the views are awesome but Rob was starting to feel the pain of breaking in new boots.
Heres us almost to the summit saddle, but decided to head down just after this to avoid a bloody mess in Rob's boots.
Heres the shot for mom.
The ski down was breakable crust and variable to say the least, but we had a great time checking out beautiful lake tahoe, and watching each other narrowly avoid trees, stumps, rocks, and each other.
and the video of the fastest and smoothest skiing we found today.
We probably had too much fun skiing down the access road, as we arent even really allowed on it. Having such a fun time with my bro in town......pray for snow!
