Backcountry Skiing Journal From:

Brennanlagasse: May 31, 2010 Uphill: 1,000 ft. | Downhill: 1,000 ft.

Did a quick lap on Bear Valley yesterday (West Slope os the Sierra (Route 4)) on our way home from the Further Fest. Pretty manky, but it wasn't much of an early morning thanks in part to a long 3 days of excellent music and festivities.

But catching Ebett's pass open was great, and the bottom line is there is just an amazing snowpack up high right now. And with most major passes open or at least open enough to facilitate good backcountry skiing access, there is sure to be some quality turns in the Sierra for a few more weeks.
