"Bluebird day in the San Bernardinos. Snowshoed up the old 4WD rode and traversed over to the summit. Came down via the N ridge which was steeper than I expected but still manageable. Lots of powder. Hard to believe this is still SoCal." - Heart Bar Peak, edg, Dec 9, 2018

"Started off at the Boronda Trail. Climbed Timber Too after a steep 3 miles from the trailhead. Bagged Michaels Hill just off the road (summit is incorrectly marked on the Topo. Squeezed under two fences to reach the summit. Asaka had a foot issue on the way back slowing us down quite a bit. Started at 8:34AM, finished at 6:15PM. Hour of hiking in the dark again.

"Nice hike up Chimney this morning, overcast and flurries but visibility was good, clouds were high. We were going to use our snowshoes but the trail was packed down and the snow wasn't deep so we hiked using our micro-spikes. Really nice on the summit, the chimney and all the other rock formations make for interesting viewing." - Chimney Mountain, hbotc, Dec 9, 2018

"Straight up the West Face from Onyx Summit parking area. Lots of families out enjoying the snow. There was a lot of brush and trees on the face, so I dropped my snowshoes about half way up which was a mistake. The last quarter mile on the flatter summit area was non-stop post-holing. Cool views out across Joshua Tree and the desert." - Onyx Peak, edg, Dec 9, 2018
