Spring Storm, Clouds Lifting
Clouds opening up and the lake coming into view in the distance at the tail end of a spring storm. I have a feeling this was my last true winter conditions ski tour of the season. Not quite a deep powder day, but almost, and plenty of coverage for April. Lake Tahoe Basin. April 2024.

Sierra Nevada Black and White Meadow/Mountain View, Clouds Moving in
This image was taken yesterday in windy conditions just before sunset, as more threatening clouds moved in.
