Hogsback near Whitney? Yes is the answer for almost all trailheads in the Sierra.

Jim No, there is no prerequisite that you ski. In fact the lifts have only run about 10 times in the last 3 years. The lodge has a large upstairs sleeping quarters with a private family suite. Downstairs is kitchen, bathroom for the ladies, pantry, gear storage, common area with fireplace and deck. ...

Buckhorn ski and snowboard club operates a large lodge and two rope tow lifts in Angeles Crest. The lodge dates back to the early 50's and is on the right side of Angeles Crest Highway about 1/4 mile past the entrance to Buckhorn campground. Memberships are very reasonable and include year round acc...

NWish pine-Yeah the shale slab. I'm thinking it could offer some technical climbing and route finding. In winter conditions it may not be very much of either. But would offer a great ski descent! I'm not after any firsts or creating a bucket list, just intrigued by the esthetic look of certain lines...

Viable yes, easy no. I have climbed at least 8 different ways up to the ridge between B-P and Throop and would not advise this route as the short cut to Ross.

Have fun and be safe.

I have climbed most of the gullies/chutes in that area. That is cross country travel in steep class 3 terrain. While it is possible to go up from Lodgepole, don't expect to see any sign of a picnic area there. I would go up PCT from Vincent Gap and save some for Ross.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Rico, my route was 15+miles. On the way up I went the wrong way for about a half mile and then had to partially back track. So for me I'd say 16 miles in 8 1/2 hours.

Places like this are very dear to me. So on such a fine day in the San Gabriel. It was my pleasure to share in a dance around Mt Waterman that provides balance of life and recharges the soul. https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/photobucket/i164/albums/u26/swanny_011/Mobile%20Uploads/20140125_0702...
