They’re called the Sierra Nevada for a reason

NewMexiKen hasn’t learned a good technique for taking photos out airliner windows, but this view of the Sierra Nevada taken last Thursday morning gives you an idea of the snow. Looking south (mostly) from above Mammoth Mountain.

Snowy Sierra

Unfortunately I was too slow to capture some wonderful shots of a setting sun on the highest peaks on the return yesterday.

[Nevada is a Spanish adjective meaning snow-covered.]
