- No, not that Williamson. :) Climb & ski of 8251' Mount Williamson, in the Angeles National Forest. Starting from the South Fork Trailhead in the High Desert and ending up...who knows?
Made with Love
Not good seeing you go solo on this hike. You overextended a bit.
this blade runner soundtrack at the start goes hard!
Nice dude once again you claim the prize🤙🏻
I ducked under that branch watching😝
Thanks!
Wow, that was something else, loved the exploring. It looked like quite the sufferfest going up, but an amazing summit and ski time. You are doing areas I have hiked, but never imagined skiing. I bought touring gear last year and have yet to go out. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Nice Andy, We’ll be exploring this zone this season as well. Via different route though, we’ve got our eyes on some lines a little more accessible from the desert floor. Pleasant view ridge, some really epic north facing lines from the PB
It's an amazing part of the range. I had no idea that trail existed. Was just looking at my Harrison map and suddenly said "hey -- what's that??" :)
That was a special kind of crazy!
Hey Andy. Any plans to review any of the many many new skis that are slated for 2024/25 season. Seems like some of the manufacturers are heading in the direction you had proposed in your past reviews. One example being the Blizzard line as well as the Nordica line. Very impressive foresight.
Unfortunately this year the Mammoth trade show coincided with a giant SoCal storm, so I decided to stay home rather than risk traveling. If I get any opportunities to test some of the new skis, I'll either post about it here or on my website, but otherwise I don't have anything in the works until next year. Sorry!
Two weeks ago the snow on the north side of the range was awful: slush on top of a breakable crust that covered 18 inches of turn stopping cement. Kudos to you if that is what you were skiing on and making nice looking turns.
That trail has taken a terrible beating over the years. I used to ride it from Islip saddle as part of a loop about 35 years ago on a rigid mountain bike before the area was declared wilderness. The exposure was sketchy but the trail was good.
wow -- that must have been an amazing ride! How did you loop back to Islip saddle?
@@AndyLewicky I would start at hwy 39 and Crystal Lake road junction ride up 39 to Islip saddle then down to the High Desert trail or the road and take one of those up to up to Vincent saddle then take Hwy 2 back to the Little Jimmy Camp road then up and over Windy Gap and take the trail back to Crystal Lake and down to my car.
It was a classic all day ride.
@@jameshowat1396 Incredible. And Windy Gap. Respect!
