Summer is winding down to its final days, and as usual I already have snow and ski season on the brain. We got our first snow in Tahoe this week, and I dug into the archives to find this image of some early snow in the Eastern Sierras. Winter is coming and the mountains are calling!

Lake Aloha
The hike to Lake Aloha is well worth it, especially if you take the water taxi across Echo Lake to cut off a few miles. This ended up being a 13 mile hike with a few extra detours. I took the extra trip up the loose rocks to get a good view of the whole lake and Pyramid Peak hanging on to some late summer snow.
Officially Fall
Well, that’s it. Fall is here. The weather doesn’t feel like it yet, but these trees in the Eastern Sierra are on full display for the changing of the season.
Last Cornice of Spring
Skiing off a cornice such as this one can be intimidating. Last weekend there was nothing but soft, slushy spring snow everywhere, so skiing over this was more like dropping into a pile of mashed potatoes than skiing over a steep drop.
Happy New Year!
This epic sunrise is a great way to kick off a happy new year! It was a cold morning to be out at Emerald Bay but the effort paid off big time with this colorful sunrise! Here’s to all of our efforts bringing great rewards in the year ahead!
Dreaming of Snow
It may not feel like winter yet to you, but up to three feet of snow is predicted to fall in the Sierra Nevada over the next few days. That forecast makes me ready to head out in weather like this to enjoy some fresh snow. What are you hoping to do this winter?
Snow Across the Water
The waters of Lake Tahoe might be calm, but the storms keep coming in. The Sierra Nevadas are finally getting some much needed snow!
Paris, Nevada
I was out shooting around dusk and wanted to do something a little different with the typical over the top attractions all of the casinos have. Taking this photo at an angle and getting close to the fountain made it unique.
Las Vegas
I love the vegas. This view from the Venetian was particularily colorful and the full moon was beautiful!
