Sugar Bowl to Squaw Valley Ski Tour
Another epic tour with G. This time from Sugar Bowl over to Squaw Valley. Started up Mt Judah, over to Mt Lincoln, toured the ridge over to Mt Anderson for camp. Day 2 took us up Anderson, over to Tinkers Knob, down to Mountain Meadow Lake, and up and over into Squaw. Conditions were perfect for touring the ridge - low wind, warm weather. This led to pretty miserable conditions on the Squaw side as we picked our way through deep slush and across numerous snow melt streams. Once back at Squaw we realized we missed the bus to get back to the car so I hitchhiked. Catching a ride was pretty easy, but once at the truck it wouldn't start up. After 30 minutes of trying I finally got it going and limped back to Squaw to get G. Turns out the fuel pump decided to go bad... doh! Off to meet the other guys in Tahoe for a weekend of skiing...
