Snowboarding is one of my true passions in life and I look forward to each winter with great anticipation. When the snow is not falling during the summer months, I train hard to ensure I have the stamina to fully appreciate my backcountry travels. With winter off to a slow start in the Eastern Sierra, I've been forced to venture elsewhere to get my fix.
I watched the weather closely and made two trips last month to an area I never knew existed - Mt. Charleston NV.
My ATC has served as an excellent platform for my winter travels. My wave 3 heater and reflectix insulation helped to keep me warm on some very cool nights. It got down to about 5 degrees at the McWilliams campground just east of their very small resort.
I had no idea what to expect and was blown away by this majestic wilderness just outside town
It was still very early in their season, but the fresh dry powder was too tempting to resist. I didn't mind taking a few core shots...
Jackpot!
Threw a video together of the journey as well, enjoy and pray for snow!!!
