About a month ago, I got the awesome opportunity to go climbing/camping in California. My friend and I flew into Reno on a Wednesday night and drove to South Lake Tahoe the next morning to appreciate the gorgeous scenery.We were just about to leave and start heading south when we saw a couple of climbers walk down to their sweet awesome van parked right next to us. Turns out there was an entire wall of beautiful sport routes just up the hill at Eagle Creek Canyon, so we followed them back up and had a few burns on some...

Mammoth bike park has opened earlier than anywhere else in the West this year. When I rode there Saturday (Memorial Day Weekend), about 9 trails were open; including Uptown, Downtown, Shotgun, Juniper Ridge, Lower Bullet, Lower Pipeline, Paper Route, and Timber Ridge. It snowed all day (30°F ) with no accumulation but keeping the trails tacky and due to the weather, nobody was on the trail! This is going to be a epic mountain biking season with the low snow pack already melting out FAST. At this time in Mammoth, all trails below 8500 feet are melted out...

Last shuttle day of the 2011 fall season on trail "Pipeline" before the snow hit.
