Album Description:
Started this backpack in overcast conditions. It turned to light fluffy flurries, then snowed all night. Sunday was a bluebird day and I was wishing I had my board to ride down some of that fresh light pow!

Backpacking in the Sierra snow has let you get beautiful pictures. Few people get to see this first hand. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Hi snownymph. I Really enjoyed this trip through your Onion Valley album. I especially liked "Sunrise&quo t;, "Looking back at Onion Valley" and "Storming on Whitney". Great adventure and great photos. Keep it up. Scott
