Lovin' the East Side



For the past few days we have been pawing around at the local mountains looking for some fresh turns. Admittedly the Wasatch mountains have spoiled us with their quick access and straight forward approaches. Two days ago we skied the backcountry near Mammoth mountain and found 20" of light pow. After a few laps we headed back to Jeff and Sarah's for some r and r. 
Yesterday we set our sights on a route near Convict Lake. It ascended a brushy slope where we hiked our skis then slogged over marginal coverage towards some spectacular terrain. (the large drainage coming in on the right) Being that it was day 5 in a row for skiing our "team" opted out early in the journey and enjoyed some fun turns down the main drainage. If nothing else we spocked some great terrain to be had during the next visit.
