A photo story

Goggles on in the San Bernardino Mountains

I was up in the snow in the San Bernardino Mountains of California, in February 2024, and I took this close selfie with my goggles on. I had an orange knit beanie under an orange and white helmet, a gray hoodie zipped up under my jacket, and the mirrored lenses were throwing back yellow and blue. It was late afternoon, around 25, with light snow and a breeze around 7 miles an hour.

I held the camera right up close, so it's mostly helmet, goggles, and beard. It was a cold one up there, and I was bundled for it.
