another good day at SP
things are burning out - it'll be a little bit of a walk out of Leavitt
skiers right side of the Y is looking tough
I hiked out thataway today - decided not to ski Leavitt solo - skied a couple laps off the east side of the PCT, then back out to Sonora Ridge
had a bit of a scary moment when I got strafed by rockfall - managed to avoid most of it, but got knocked off my feet by a soccer ball sized rock that hit my uphill boot and took me out - rock v plastic, so no damage done, except maybe for the poopstain in my pants
camera issues, so no pics
666 - you still thinking about Sun? (Mag-in-training) Holy Mazurkiewicz and I are planning a Sunday mission
Yep. That's still my plan. Leavitt and Deadman are my goals bit if too burned out low maybe just a lap or two on Leavitt and walk back. Any beta on whether Deadman chute is a go?
Owning up to some JONGishness here when I say...
which one is Deadman Chute?
You interested in doing a car shuttle from the pass, or are you more inclined to walk up Blue Lake Canyon from the hwy? Either way - we should hook up. SFTC said he gave you my contact info...
oh, and I found the note about the lost bivy last week, and MapleLeafGillies should be getting it in the mail soon
Tmike, I gave Bruce P. your digits, but not 666, 'cause he may be a devil.
copy that...
I was thinking parking at top of Pass, and walk over to Leavitt. Maybe leave a car at bottom if GDS makes it. Deadman is the long skinny one lookers right when you get that first view of Leavitt on the ridge when hiking out there from top of pass.
here are some shots I took Wed from the PCT

y'all are welcome to stay here in Twain Harte on the way to and from the pass - plenty of room here - my buddy and I plan to leave here early Sunday morning - hitch-hiking should be ok, but we'd be into a car shuttle
Good lord, Leavitt looks about as FAT on July 20 as it did June 20 of last year!!!!
but my shit is still staying packed in the closet with a nice coat o summer wax :)
I'm a no go. Too tired after two solid bc days. Probably going to ski Sisters instead....its really good and it's closer :)
right on - have fun!
Mike,Bruce here, Think theres still a few days left on the pass?
Yes indeed. I think there's still a couple/three/four/eight weeks left on the pass. I'm limited for the next 2 weeks, but I'll be looking for August turns if you want to engage in such foolishness....
call me
TopWop and sftc - I fianlly gotz the connection
Bruce - CALL ME
Hi - looking to head up to SP Aug 13 with 2 bootpacking snowboarders (who prefer sweat and tears to paying for a splitboard). What are your all's thoughts to the feasibility? Snow doesn't have to be epic like june/july, just allow us to get some turns without rotted through suncups.
Thanks!

Above Leavitt Lake will have snow next week, no problem.
Rippey154 - I'll be headed up to SP on Friday the 12th. Backpacking in to Kennedy Meadows. Hoping for a descent of the Unnamed peak at 10,400 between KM and Relief Reservoir. Saw plenty of snow up there two weeks ago. You're welcome to join this splitboarder.
1k - sweet - give me an email and I'll call you back (dont want to put my phone number on post): davepenndorf [at] msn.com - even if we don't join on saturday, might be worth hearing your report in case we go want turns sunday too.
bump
for that reason
Remember when there was snow in the Sierra in June?
haha...I love my post at the end of July.
