Gilbert and Thompson Pass, South Lake trail head, Sierra Nevada, CA

I had a gym teacher named Ms. Gilbert and one named Mr. Thompson in high
school. Didn't remember until after the fact.

Hiked to far up the trail the first day and had a nasty traverse high above
the lake to get to the snow. On the way back and on Sunday we just walked
around the low water shore line.

Day 2:
We climbed the far right chute on Thompson. The first one had blue ice and
the middle ran out of snow 1/3 way up. The far right got a bit steep at the
top and next time I would like a rope and some pro.

Happy to be alive and on skis:






Snow is melting fast!!!

Your artwork is amazing, and I wish to purchase some for large sums of cold hard American cash money.
