Backcountry Skiing Snow Creek, Mt. San Jacinto, California 2023-04-30 

we had two cars

Too long, we took the wrong route from the tram. If you catch the first tram you should be able to make it by 10am.

We hiked up that in 1991. Brought our skis to the base intending to do what you did, but looked up at the 11k ascent and decided to ditch ojr downhill gear. We encountered our first rattlesnake on the approach in the yucca and two more on the approach to the colloid, one, a baby as I pulled myself over a rock ledge coiled in the sun two feet from my left handhold. That climb was an accomplishment, and we took the tram down. Thanks for the video. It was good to see what we missed out on, albeit 43 years later 😂.
