suggestions for Sat 1-21-06
Heading up to Sacramento on Friday and free Sat, and or Sun. Im not real familiar with any Sierra entry from this side (hwy 99). All my trips have always been from 395 to the Eastern Sierra. Any suggestions for this weekend? will have gear, ice axe, crampons, snow shoes etc, but would like to do some snow shoeing, can bring skis. Thanks for suggestions.

From Sacramento, (my home too) think Tahoe - a 2-hour drive up the hill - bring chains - heavy snow last few days.
Two routes are open: Highway 80 to Donner Summit, Truckee, North Lake Tahoe or Highway 50 towards Echo Summit and South Lake. You can also take Highway 5 south (parallels 99 then merges) up to Modesto (Yosemite offramp - Highway 120) and be in Yosemite Valley in 3 hours. There are too many ski venues available along the way to list here.
