Ok, so I know they're not widely loved in the mountaineering community, but I recently picked up a pair of snowmobiles for winter climbing and backcountry ski access. Initially I'm just going to use them for access on snow-covered logging roads, but as I get more experience under my belt, I'd like to do ski laps on steeper terrain - towing someone else on the way up, and then switching off who gets to ski/drive on the way down.
Anyone in norcal (and the Tahoe area especially) have experience with this? Areas I'm eyeing are Mt Lola/Carpenter ridge north of Truckee, Blackwood Canyon, accessing the west side of Desolation via Wright's Lake, etc.
