[pct-l] SIERRA SNOW REPORT - Getting better

[Reinhold Metzger]

> Hi gang,
> Trouble is back in town......back from another week of skiing in the 
> Sierra.
> Spend another week skiing at Mammoth Mountain in the Sierra with 
> Banner, Ritter, the PCT & JMT  just a stone throw away....perhaps the 
> most spectacular view in the Sierra.
> From the top of Cornice, at 11,000 feet, you can look along the 
> Sierra, north & south, and the White Mountains for as far as the eye 
> can see.
> Not much snow on the White Mountains, just across the valley east of 
> the Sierra, lying in the rain shadow of the Sierra, but the Sierra is 
> covered with snow as far as the eye can see
> So do like Ground Pounder Bill says   '' Be  prepared ''.
>
> This has been my fifth week of skiing in the Sierra this year without 
> going down.......further proof that I am getting ''better'' as I get 
> older.....somethings do get better with age.
> This is something Switchback & I seem to have in common......we seem 
> to get better as we get older.....so stand by gang.....the best is yet 
> to come.
>
> Boy, I'm so exited about this.....I can't wait until 
> tomorrow......knowing I get better every day.
