What would you guys do with this? My father gave this to me a while back, but I'm not a collector and don't like to own too much stuff. I don't even know if things like this have value to anyone beyond collectors, but it's pretty neat.

Sierra Nevada: Pale Ale vs Torpedo Extra IPA. Which do you prefer?

First post on the sub. I thoroughly enjoy both beers. I first tried Torpedo Extra IPA some months ago, but just recently tried the Pale Ale and prefer it for it’s less bitter taste. I would like to know what you fellow beer-guzzlers think.

$15 magnum of 2017 Sierra Nevada Christmas Ale?

Big ol beer lover and fan of dark/heavy beer styles.

I ran through a classic cheap liquor store yesterday and saw they randomly had two magnums of 2017 Sierra Nevada Christmas Ale for $15 each.

Think I should buy one or is it going to be mediocre after sitting for so long (including at room temp)?

How long to prep for? Nearly 11,000 people still without power nearly two weeks in Sierra Nevada.

Most of the over 237,000 people have had their power restored by now, but the utility doesn't expect to have everyone back in service until maybe Tuesday. That's a lot of generator fuel.

With the climate changing and the infrastructure under stress already, what's the chance of these sort of long outages becoming more frequent? I was thinking being ready to ride out a 1 week outage would be a safe bet, but maybe I should rethink.

Entering Sierra Nevada early (?)

Hi all, the title pretty much says it. I have read multiple blog posts and watched videos on how to tackle the Sierras.

With my start date being late late March, at first I thought I would enter KM by roughly by May 10-15th. Currently I am reading that this is way too early to enter Sierras. (Surely, every year is different and snow levels can differ drastically).

In general though, I have a few questions:

  1. What do people who start in the beginning of March do? Do they just skip Sierras and then get back? Or is this all snow fear mania is a bit too much?

  2. What precautions one could take to mitigate the risks entering Sierras relatively early (besides ice axe, microspikes ans good navigation skills)? Any links or advice?

Any input is highly appreciated and I will se you on the trail :)

First drive from the Bay Area to Sierra Nevada mountains in ID.4

First trip into the mountains with ID.4 ProS. Traveling from the Bay Area to Kirkwood, CA and back - a day ski trip some 200 miles one way. One of the main challenges with EVs is somewhat unintuitive range drop/gain when driving up or down a big hill. Kirkwood is at ~8,000ft elevation, so getting there and back requires some tricks. Here's my journey.

Started from home with 100% charge. Last EA charging station before Kirkwood is in Stockton, a 100 miles from destination. Charged to 85% (about 210 miles, should be enough to Kirkwood and back to the same charger). It took about 25 minutes to charge. Thanks to this community I now start charging in the app before plugging in, and it works as a charm.

Arrived in Kirkwood with only 18% left (ID.4 was showing 45 miles range). I remember my first trip to the mountains with an EV (I drove BoltEV since 2018). This kind of drop in range was very unnerving.

Starting with 18% charge drove downhill from Kirkwood to Stockton, a 100 mile drive, and arrived at the charging station with 10% charge left. Quite a difference - 100 miles uphill consumed 67% of the battery, and the same 100 miles downhill consumed only 8%.

Another quick charge - this time up to 50% from 10% - only took 20 minutes. This was sufficient to get back home.

Overall impression from ID.4 after doing many similar trips in BoltEV - it's a lot more comfortable, and saves a ton of time because of super fast charging. Larger battery capacity allows to travel with comfort - with BoltEV I had to disable heating to save energy for driving.

One interesting thing I noticed with ID.4 is that temperature around 32-35F doesn't really affect its range estimate.

Typical Nevada Weather Writeup, With particular focus on Northern Nevada and the Sierra.

Hi I’m Sherman. I am a 37 year old weather hobbyist. I am a Savant about weather patterns particularly in regions where I have lived. I am a native Nevadan who lived in the Reno/Tahoe area for over 20 years, but I have lived in New England for several years now.

The Reno Metro area is in a strong rain shadow cast by the Sierra and Carson Range. But if you look east from the Sierra to the opposite side of Reno and Sparks, the golden-colored spur of the Pah Rah range that lies between Sparks and Fernley is a weird enigma that sometimes serves to fire up thunderstorms over east sparks due to orographic lifting as a consequence of afternoon Washoe Zephyrs, or in retrograde patterns. Not many people have a name for those mountains just east of Sparks. But they have off-roading activities, and I have identified them as a spur of the Pah Rah range. At the Southern extent of this spur, lies the Truckee river in a canyon. If you cross that river, you are faced with a very steep series of mountains opposite to that Pah Rah Spur. This is actually a different range, the Virginia Range. You will notice that this set of mountains, which lies directly east of Reno’s β€œHidden Valley”, and is not the same golden color. The mountain instead is a dark brown, dotted with some kind of Juniper/Pinyon, and further back up in those mountains lies Virginia City.

Also, the spur of the Pah Rah range is home to some of the nicer Sparks properties on its west foothills. I know this because I actually grew up in a house on that hill. The upper elevations of that cluster of hills actually reaches about 6000 feet at its peak… and I believe a NORAD or maybe an Airplane radar deal thingie sits on the plateau-like peak. And a cat litter mine and some radio antennas. This peak gets significantly more snow than people realize, due to its elevation, despite the fact it still lies within the strict rain shadow of the Sierra.

Carson City also gets more snow than the eastern side of Reno…. Not so much because of the slight elevation advantage, but because the rain shadow cast by the Carson range and Sierra is more severe for the lower valley of Reno and Sparks, especially if you get a southwest flow.

Snowfall average varies quite a bit even from one part of the Valley to another in Reno, even if the elevation is the same. Actual Proximity to Peavine and the Carson range can be more important than a 200 or 300 foot elevation advantage that is had by hills between east Sparks and Spanish Sprin

Sierra Nevada Backpacking suggestions

Hello friends,

I'm an avid backpacker that is on college winter break. I currently live in Monterey County in California and have been looking for winter backpacking locations without success. I'm currently looking for places that are below the current snow level (e.g. below 4000 ft). I'm especially looking at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada with rivers nearby. Any suggestions?

How would the National guard handle a sudden appearance of hundreds of bear sized spiders of various species in the mountains of the Sierra Nevadas.

I got an idea for a short story involving bear sized spiders appearing in the forests near San Francisco by the hundreds. I'm trying to get an idea of what the military response might be. From national, state, and local leadership to the guardsman and others who come into contact with the creatures. I figured after LEO, the National Guard would be the first to be mobilized in response.

Mods said some of the younger folks would probably get a laugh out of this question. Which is fair, it's pretty absurd.

Or if y'all know of a better sub to ask this question?

Thanks though.

Edit: Thanks to all of you who have responded! You have given me a ton of great ideas and reference to springboard from. Not to mention several pessimistic chuckles.

Backcountry XC ski choice - Sierra and Northern Nevada

I'm sure this is asked all the time but I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the options out there. I used to be a half decent resort downhill skier but lived away from the mountains and snow for a while. I've been occasionally snowshoeing over the years and just and just moved back to the snow. I'd really like to get some skis so I can go a bit faster/further than snowshoes. My dad promised to teach me XC when I was a kid but we would go to the resort and downhill ski instead so I never tried it.

I'm living in Carson City, NV now, we have a surprising amount of snow down in the valley at the moment and I've been seeing some people skiing in the local parks but mostly I'll be up in the Sierra. I'd like to explore moderate terrain (basically the same places I'd be snowshoeing), I don't intend to skin up slopes to get in some turns and don't need a lot of downhill performance but I want something for mostly off-trail use with some versatility (different snow and terrain, I don't want to buy a whole quiver of skis). Sometimes I'll be breaking trail, sometimes following existing tracks, very rarely on groomed stuff.

I don't know how to telemark and I don't think I want to learn given I'm not too concerned about downhill performance.

I might go on an occasional overnight trip.

I've read about stuff like the Madshus Annum but not sure if thats right here or the Fischer spider 62, not sure about bindings, NNN?

Thanks!
