Nevada Sled Campout

[TEXASS]

Got Invited on a 5 day, sled accessed splitboard trip to a small but wonderfully fun Nevada Mountain Range. Although my usual area was full to the brim with good snow, I figured being in for a new adventure and to get there by sled was worth giving up a few days of know good conditions for some exploration
Snow turned out to be pretty good with plenty of coverage and it was fun to do a multiday snow camp again

Starting out on the long drive


Got to Los Angeles to pick up the sleds and a couple of camp buddies



Many Miles of this view



Finally our destination in view

Awesome TR dude! Looks super fun down there. DO you have beta on that super secret pinner line????

Somewhat I was there on 4/6. What you need to know?

Awesome! What a great idea. I did a couple days of sled skiing in Lamoille in 2013, but I'd love to spend more time exploring the less popular areas (basically everything except Lamoille Canyon).

Nice!

Wow - look how filled in TC is! Especially in the middle.

Looks like a fun trip.

I'm impressed someone in LA owns snowmobiles. I have done a couple day tours from the main parking area several years ago...but would love to get back for TC.

Nice trip.

I thought the same thing! Also, snow camping on Nevada looks way warmer and more awesome than snow camping where I live.

nevada should be kept quiet.

I did a backpacking trip out there on July 4th last year and the place was empty! We might have summited Lake Peak too. Awesome report! Did you guys stay at a yurt?

Boo hoo hoo..... yeah, nobody knows what that couloir thing is, or that you can ride on a sled in that area, or that there's a heli-skiing right there too.

Thanks for posting awesome photos of an awesome trip. I particularly like your 4 person stand-up tent for camping!

Ya, and driving all the way there for those old sleds?? Great TR, don't get me wrong. I've been in that area before, it's a fun zone.
