It's getting to be that time...
Let's see your backcountry ski photos.
I'll start.
I took this near Alta Peak, west side of the Sierra just before the Tablelands, at the beginning of the Sierra High Route (the ski route, duh).
This was around 11pm, full moon...

A few from a chilly late winter ascent of Casaval Ridge and then a couple more from the summer solstice corn harvest on the Hotlum Wintun. So much fun.
Alpenglow approach
Just before things started getting a little airy
Corn harvest
All smiles
And a bonus Donner pic
BCD, you set the bar so high. Awesome.

I learned how this year for this trip...
heading up into a whiteout
lovely conditions
working for it
point success
heading down the Emmons Glacier and really wishing I was a better skier.
only 3000 or so more feet to descend.
It was well worth it. I suffered in so many ways.

Deerhorn?? Seriously, you guys were a long way back in there! But then, we got there last spring too:
We stopped at Shorty's place for a drink on our way home
And this was almost 40 years ago at Muir Pass

BCD -
Damn! Those are super good. Love the B&W of Picture Pk. You get around!
Everyone else...keep posting - cool here today. Already had a winter dream or two in the last couple of weeks.
Remember. I ski. You ski. Whiskey!
Goes for all who glide.
