  • A little more doggie follow cam stoke from our 4th run yesterday on Ralston, beautiful day

    Comment


    • I don't have a dog, but I ran a trail running race yesterday down in Wyoming that was open to dogs on leashes. I love running with dogs: they are 100% stoke the whole race....and I'll be running along hearing the panting behind me...and we get to scramble sections and the 4wd on the dogs just takes over.

      • the race will happen. its Broken Arrow...one of the top 3 Sky Races in the US. there have been snow sections in the past, but usually only a few hundred yards at a time.

          Sure a lot to be said about South and East of Tahoe............ Well done............ For me, making progress and trying to be smart is not something I am good at. I am out almost a month from my injury and pretty much off pain meds at least the narcotic ones so just some NSAIDS and Tylenol. I can walk unassisted but staying on my walker for another two weeks, Doc said I can ride my stationary bike so just started on that progressive of course and circuit training the best I can. Think I can ride my pedal bike in the field after three mons so around 6-1, Then, see what happens, I have PR's on all my local rides so a goal in my mind is to erase some of my previous. So a summer of MTB and maybe some sailing. Lynn's all in too, so we'll see............. BTW, Tahoe BC, well done............ amazing........

            TBC - cool viddie, I'm continuing to live vicariously thru them. The fire damage to Ralston and Sierra at Tahoe are really evident in this. If you didn't name the location, it would have been hard to place.

            • WOW - avalanche and burial on round top! Super glad that person is ok, but wow. scary.
              Toured solo from Carson Pass towards Round top peak. Traveling was easy with wind packed and firm snow surface almost the entire way to Lake Winnemucca. I traversed around the east side of the lake and linked a series of bowls and terraces below the Sierra crest and approaching the north east bowls of Round Top Peak. No avalanche activity or signs of instability were observed including during steeper uphill ski cuts while climbing. The snow was firm amd chalky on the surface. Climbing up to the north east bowl on Round Top showed the same conditions.

                    Wow - I hardly recognize West Bowl, it looks completely different.
                    Lucy and I are up this weekend. She will be getting verts with a heavy pack in preparation for her Canada ski tour and I will be doing some mellow touring to rehab the knee and associated muscles. We're in Meyers, give a ring if you are around.
