Backcountry Ski Days 2020-2021

 This was a season of staying and skiing in California. With covid about we never ended making a trip outside of the state.

Mid November views from below Round Top


South drainage on Stevens peak.


East bowl of Stevens Peak


A wonderful christmas dinner in the blowing sleet


Scout peak climb


Scout peak trees ( pre-caldor fire :( )


Talking mountain


with some solid manzaneering on the south facing approach


Summit capture looking west into desolation


some wonderful trees


Climbing the open bowl of Ralston


Looking into desolation, this time from the "summit" of Tallac 


North Bowl of Tallac


Some really really wonderful skiing on the way down


Very fun!


Skiing around Painted Rock


with Wobi!


Attempting to get a pic of Tahoe


Some fun low angle tree skiing after a big storm


Light snow in Deep creek


It was skiing amazing


deep @ Deep Creek I


deep @ Deep Creek II


Next day on Rubicon... they had gotten like 1/3 the amount of snow. It was disappointing.


But Rubicon trees are so good


Kirkwood slackcountry!


Bootpacking with The Sisters in the background


SOOO DEEP


One of my favourite faces anywhere.....


Skiing off 4th of July


Sonora Pass!


Leavitt Peak and the Y. We did not do the Y as it had a bunch of debris and the one to the left looked in better shape.


Bowl was... very bare... compared to the previous time we'd been here


Booting up the couloir next to Y


Solid!


Skiing out... in the heat :)


That wraps the Covid ski season!
