Skiers at Peter Grubb Hut

Welcome to the 2011/2012 Season

The Loma Prieta Ski Touring Section (STS) of the Sierra Club leads ski trips to the Sierra Nevada and elsewhere.

Trips range from touring on skinny skis or snowshoes to backcountry skiing with fat skis or split boards on steep terrain.

Trips are rated to indicate the trip difficulty level.

Lodging for trips may be in backcountry huts, snow camping, or other private or commercial lodging.

We publish a newsletter (TRACK), we promote conservation of wilderness areas, and we hold meetings from November to May.

Next STS Meeting: 
December 7th, 2011 - Wednesday
Peninsula Conservation Center
3921 East Bayshore Road, Palo Alto
7:30 - 9:30pm

Janet Hoffmann : Tuolumne Meadows
The journey in to Tuolumne Meadows in winter is a long slog but worth it for spectacular scenery and some fun skiing when conditions are good. Our trip last spring was had a good mix of snow conditions for some wonderful skiing. Come see the beauty of Tuolumne Meadows and the surrounding mountains in winter at our December meeting. Also hear about the line-up of trips planned for the coming season.
