About

Steep, powder-filled couloirs and massive corn runs are the signature of California's Eastern Sierra, a 250+ mile range of granite spires. Spring corn snow and cold powder are two snow surfaces are often found side-by-side on the same day, just a ridgeline apart, in this magical Range of Light. While these snow surfaces seem at odds with each other, the cold, clear nights and warm, sunny days of the Eastern Sierra yield can often create the perfect recipe for skiing cold, wintery snow in steep, shady couloirs that feed into pitches of sun-warmed corn skiing. Whether you're looking for big faces, granite-lined couloirs or just to have a great day in the backcountry, the Eastern Sierra will deliver!
