I was quite surprised to hear of this, the Sierra Nevada region isn't renowned for such treacherous weather that it kills people. Sierra Nevada is only around 3 hours away from me on the outskirts of Granada and I have been up there often on skiiing trips - in fact I'm planning to go in the weeks after Cheltenham. It's a beautiful part of the world with stunning scenery. I know there was bad weather up there last week as I was speaking to a friend who was up there last week - he wasn't happy that his couple of days snowboarding ended up as a whiteout - they shut the resort - and he was stuck in a 5 and a half hour traffic jam trying to get off the mountain! Ironically, the last time I went to Sierra Nevada with Richard we had to come home a day early as they shut the resort due to high winds and blizzards.
