Flying tomorrow morning to Reno to meet Terry, skiing around Tahoe and acclimating to higher elevation for a couple of days, then driving to Lee Vining and skinning up to the Tioga Pass Resort for four days of backcountry skiing. Lots of snow forecast between now and Monday. Then it warms up a bit, but I hope that Tioga Pass, at 9945 ft, will stay well above the dreaded rain. I'm not taking the PowerBook (no blogging) or much reading material. Traveling light is important since we'll get to and from the resort at 9641 ft under our own power. Now trying to decide which one book to take for the trip. John Muir's The Mountains of California ranks high. 7:48:30 PM
