Miracle March + Spring Shenanigans
After our latest storm system dropped 50 INCHES of snow over the span of eight days, it’s hard to believe that we are nearly halfway through the month of March. El Nino can’t get enough of the Sierras and keeps bringing the goods, with over a foot of snow forecasted to fall before the end of the day Monday! Obviously, the Sierra Fam has been getting out there and getting it, but you know how it goes, pics or it didn’t happen! Scope out some of our favorite pics from the last week below.
