dwindling ski season
Two weeks ago Michelle and I went for one of our favorite tours on Hood. The snow’s going fast. We decided to bail on a Mt. Shasta tour due to lack of snow there. A friend who spoke to a climbing ranger said that glacial ice was already appearing on many Shasta climbs and that our favorite route, the Hotlum-Wintun, was already suncupped near 10,000 ft. Last year we skied Shasta on the 4th of July and it was fantastic. Here’s to a better winter next season in the Sierra Nevada.
