Really nice compositions. Esp. #1,2,4. By the way, which peaks are they, and where'd you shoot from?

I had an axe but the snow was wobbly and loose and there was no room to self arrest, a couple thousand feet straight down on either side of this.
I wanted to write Happy Mother's Day! in the book (and perhaps bag the year's first summit?) but it was probably buried so this is my Happy Mother's Day! shot.

Rule #1: get home safely! Sounds like fine judgement on your part.

Below the 8600 ft, there's very little snow. Plowing didn't take much work. TM Campground is pretty dry. About as snow-free as I've ever seen it on opening day.
Go up another 500-1000 feet and conditions change pretty quickly. In fact, this is as much snow as I've ever seen on opening day, going back 5 odd years.
It's shaping up into a nice bed of Sierra cement but I'm glad I brought my snowshoes.
