Thinking Cascade falls was probably in this week but is quickly delaminating with the warmer rain in Tahoe today.

Saw a Mountain Project report on Lundy canyon where three wise men was coming back into conditions

Valley is probably too warm? We had a 5-10 day stretch with nights in the teens and twenties but that seems to have passed. Anyone have eyes on widows tears?

Wondering if there are other Bay Area folks thinking about poking around in the Tahoe + Yosemite vicinity (donner, eagle lake, coldstream, road cuts, etc)

Thoughts?

I'd like to swing some tools a couple times this winter. Been wondering about Tahoe myself

Agree with that last statement - faster to fly to Colorado than drive to California ice this time of year!

Red Cliffs at Kirkwood is in, and the weather is getting colder for the rest of the week.
