SIERRA SNOW THIS WEEK.APRIL4-7. SNOWSHOEING-.ANYBODY INTERESTED?

Dave, I do a lot of Sierra trips from the east side and usually two in the winter. Although I have limited social skills it's always fun to meet other UL winter hikers. . . I can't make it this weekend but I will be heading out for a snowshoe trip in the Sierra the third week of April (weather permitting). Maybe we could meetup sometime. BTW, I was out for five days with a small group two weeks ago in Sabrina Basin. The conditions were beautiful with 1-2 feet of fresh powder on north facing slopes. Have fun this weekend, look forward to seeing any photos!

We were kicking steps in deep powder most of the day:

yeah,let me know if i can come on your late april trip…i like talking but not on the trail…i ve been on hikes with people and cant remember the scenery or anything about the trip because i was engaged in conversation most of the way…when im solo,i get in the zone and the scenery is engaging my brain 110%.I can sit on a rock for hours sucking in a particular amazing vista.When im alone in the wilderness i am never alone-the wind,rock,mtn,snow,birds are with me.

Hey Dave,
I would be interest in snowshoeing this weekend in Big Pine. I live in LA, I really like the Eastern Sierra. Let me know what your plans are. I have to work friday but free this weekend.

That sounds great Dave. I can relate to the uninterrupted enjoyment of the Sierra. I did the JMT solo in 2011 and although I appreciate the feeling of total immersion that comes with a few weeks solo in the backcountry I've been having fun mixing it up a little more lately.

Kevin i ll send you a pm to let you know what i have planned….have you snowshoed to willow lake?i would like to see it in full snow…it could be a very arduous day trek with the new snow?For relaxed yet dramatic scenery i think little lakes valley is doable.Anyway i ll pm you.

Andy,let me know about your late april trip if you need an extra person along.Thanks,dave
