Man....

the snow coverage looks pretty thin, doesn't it?

Re: Man....

On Saturday January 20 we shoed up to horsecamp. The wind was howling the entire way. Where the cabin was fully buried last year and only the top of the chimney stuck out, this year, the cabin is only covered around the base. Maybe five feet of snow at horse camp. The ridge routes were all scoured rock and ice. The wind blew all weekend.

Re: Man....

I noticed your other photo of Shasta was taken almost exactly a year ago, and what a difference between those two!

Re: Man....

Huge difference! Really hoping for some snow and less wind as I am hoping to do the ridge routes (Casaval and Green Butte) this winter.
