My 1982 Backcountry Ski YearWell, it was one of the best times of my life, skiing about the Sierra Nevada. I could team up with either the local chapter, and also lead joint trips with the Ski Mountaineers from Los Angeles and vicinity. It was year round recreation for me, with weekends off, no commitments, and enough dough from my job to get me around.
This was the way to see the California wilderness and the West, with a fuel efficient car, and enough people to ride along. I had made the investment in equipment, with so many fine innovations to hit the clothing industry. It was a good outings enviro club, back then, and I imagined to never run out of new areas to see.
No one suffered any injury or accident on any of these trips--we were all good backcountry skiers. There was a record snowfall this season and next--two back-to-back bigtime snowfall years.
Just too good to be true.External LinksAdd External Links text here. Images
