weather is looking questionable thursday into friday (we'll see how much snow falls) anyone know what the accumulation will be at what elev.?
Sunday for summit will be very cold, but if winds calm down would seem doable. I still don't have microspikes.
Correction on dates: I meant to say I will be up there this Fri-Sunday the 9th-11th
Beautiful weather in So Cal today. I hiked Ontario and Buckhorn Peaks in the San Gabriel mountains and it was gorgeous. I am still planning to come up Friday, Saturday, Sunday. If not for anything but to try out the new Microspikes and spend the night at the portal parking lot Friday night and Trail Camp Sat. or I'll just stay at the Whitney Hostel if it gets ugly and day hike it. I just want to feel out the whole thing so I can stop feeling like such a newb.
Now for a vehicle question. I have two vehicles available to me. 1) 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Lifted, armored, winch, set up for off road, snow, mud but gets about 13mpg and is horrible to sleep in. 2) 2002 BMW 323Ci. That's the station wagon model. Low profile tires, fast, quiet awesome to sleep in and about 23 mph. No chains at the moment and would need low profile model if I bought them.
