Trekker, it was nice to finally meet you. You're the same in person as your e-mails! It was a fun trip, seemed like we talked the whole time! Glad you're on board now!
Doug, I'm thinking about doing a snow trip in April. I'll start a thread when I get back. SnowDude is waiting to leave for Mammoth. Hope its not crowded!
MiT, LLV is a beautiful area! Couldn't resist making snow angels. Trekker was going to make a snowman, but the snow was too soft. The snowmobile was up and back down in about 10 minutes with the sick woman. Not sure why they didn't try to descend earlier. She was moving kinda slow in the morning, but the guy didn't ask us for help til 3pm. I would have left my gear and descended if I were that sick.
