Fredonyer


For the northern Sierra, February 2019 was one of the colder and wetter months in recent memory.  Last week, it snowed so much in Chester, that I observed snow-plow piles more than 12 feet tall.  Yesterday, I went out to Fredonyer to try the skis for a few minutes.  A warm snow was falling, and the skis were sticking a bit, so I didn't make it quite to 6,000 feet.  But, as you can see from the picture (above) there is currently 150 cm of settled snow at that elevation.  On my way out, I was able to glide a little by traversing a small bowl (below).
