You covered most everything. Let me see what I can contribute…TLT boots – removed the metal heel cleats, removed a lot of material from the upper cuff with a hole cutter. <more later> Incalescent replied to the topic California's Winter Ain't Done Yet in the forum Trip Reports 7 years, 2 months agoGlad everyone came out clean! Nice TR, there is indeed much winter remaining, glad to see others staying after it. Incalescent replied to the topic Lassen Peak, CA in the forum Split Partners Wanted 7 years, 3 months agoGo get it Michael! Catch me next time. Should be great riding. Incalescent replied to the topic Tioga and Sonora Passes in the forum California 7 years, 3 months agoSonora 108 is closed again. 120 is still open from Lee Vining to the Tioga Pass park entry per ca.gov. Looks like up to 12″-18″ possible on the ridgelines in the Eastern Sierra all the way down to Whitney through Saturday, clearing Sunday. I hate to see folks hang up the board so soon, this is prime time. I’m getting after it. Won’t you join me?

Incalescent replied to the topic Bradley Hut – Sierra in the forum Trip Reports 7 years, 4 months agoDo forgive the spare photos here. It’s hard and frankly more time than I have to write two TRs with pics. I don’t like it when some goon just uses a forum to pump his blog so I hope not to be coming across that way. I do mean to share stoke and support the site and at the same time invite people to check out my blog stuff as I like sharing…[Read more] Incalescent replied to the topic Bradley Hut – Sierra in the forum Trip Reports 7 years, 4 months agoDo forgive the spare photos here.

Incalescent replied to the topic Black Mountain eastern Sierra 3/14/15 in the forum Trip Reports 7 years, 4 months agoNice TR and shots Tex. Thanks for the report. It ain’t over yet. Incalescent started the topic Bradley Hut – Sierra in the forum Trip Reports 7 years, 5 months agoVisited the Bradley Hut last weekend. What we thought would be a spring corn farming endeavor turned out to be a cold pow hunt that proved successful. Temperatures stayed cold enough to preserve soft freshies on mainly NE and N aspects, particularly where sheltered by a high ridge to the west.With the dusting we get today, I think there…[Read more] Incalescent replied to the topic Lassen – Brokeoff Mountain, Neutrino Couloir in the forum Trip Reports 7 years, 5 months agoThank *you* Darren for providing real-time assistance! Yeah the line might be a go in a huge snow year but was way beyond our risk tolerance. Psyched to see you and Natty showing up in Buffy’s shots from last weekend. Incalescent replied to the topic Splitboard Mountaineering in the forum Splitboards 7 years, 5 months agoThe Spatniks, while a bit overkill for the climbing (support and temperature wise), will at least climb ice & rock well.

Otherwise, the forward flex is adequate and…[Read more] Incalescent replied to the topic Splitboard Mountaineering in the forum Splitboards 7 years, 5 months agoThe Spatniks, while a bit overkill for the climbing (support and temperature wise), will at least climb ice & rock well.

From the previous weekend’s totals, I knew Shasta and Lassen had been hit hard.Though we didn’t expect winter conditions, we did find flashes of cold snow in windblown north-facing pockets.
