Skiing within the City of Los Angeles? That's what five friends accomplished Sunday when they descended the slopes of the city's tallest mountain.
Skiers make their way over the summit of Mt. Lukens on Sunday.
Backcountry is a niche subset of the skiing world. It exists apart from pricey resorts, high-speed lifts and groomed runs, attracting a breed of skiers who hunger for a natural setting of rocks and trees with no one else in sight.It can mean braving avalanches and other dangers that lurk above, and below, the surface of unmanaged terrain.A small but devoted cadre of local skiers devotes itself to finding such opportunities in ranges such as the San Bernardinos, San Gabriels and San Jacintos.
Though Lukens is fairly tame and accessible compared to other places they have ventured, Lewicky and his crew took an array of safety equipment, including shovels and avalanche transceivers.
