 Julian and Asa, stoked to be skiing rather than surfing for a change. | 1/21/21 Mt. Rose, NV
 Sierra emerges from the ice filled Donner train tunnels. The tunnels were built by Chinese prisoners in 1867 and housed the first rail line to cross the Sierra Nevada. | 1/22/21 Norden, CA

 My roommates Jay and Morgan each have an absolute cutie of a dog. Meet Nola and Jax! | 1/26/21 Cedar Flat, CA

 Isaac pauses to enjoy a glorious view of Lake Tahoe before an exposed and windy push to the summit. | 2/1/21 Rubicon Peak, CA

 PCT pal Hot Take wanted to help his friend Mimi (pictured) find a place to camp near Mammoth, and I just so happened to already be there! I ended up inviting her to share my patch of dirt for the night and an outrageously expensive pizza from town.
