Nice pics. Hope we get more snow, but today's storm looks like a fizzle.

Thanks!

I met up with a few folks yesterday with the hopes of climbing the Baldy Bowl. The Bowl was mostly bare. After reaching the Ski Hut, I decided to call it a day and head home early to hang out with my family. I hope the storm left some snow up there, but by 11 or 12, it hadn't done much. Will post a trip report soon, just not much to say

Howdy Chevy

The same thing happened to Sally, Marilyn and I last fall. Hopefully this system will dump enough to get in one last climb. Tuesday or Wednesday this week looks like the best day. The Baldy ski site is saying folks will need chains to get to the ski area parking today, so that's good

Miles of smiles,
