Another fantastic trip ski touring around mammoth. The ES Avalanche Assoc was going crazy with avalanche warnings. The snow was fluffy powder like in CO, an absolute delight to ski in!
@Gogd Thanks for your guidance on skis.
Also, thanks to @c9h13no3 (Despite the comment about tele skis only being for old people
) for reminding me to look at the almighty aspect!!! I had been so consumed with slope angle, I totally forgot that it is reasonably safe on S--W aspects.
My Jasmine Rose was skijoring again every day and what a great puller that mighty dog is, even when breaking trail, up steep hills, in deep powder!!
Finally, We skied up the unnamed dome 9610', South of Mammoth. The Mammoth Pass trail passes right under the south of it. From the top, looking NW We saw the incredible view seen here. I would guess that the closest mountains are Minarets, Banner, Ritter and Davis. Who can tell me, please, the others in the view?
I think that all of you will recognize the remainder of the pictures.
Happy holidays to all of you!
