Earlier this week, The Hike Guy tipped me off to some incredible photos taken by his buddy Bob in the snow-covered San Gabriels.

As part of the Sierra Club’s Wilderness Training Course, Bob strapped on a pair of snowshoes and headed up to the flats near Mount Baden-Powell for a bit of SoCal alpine wonder:

He’s posted a full photo album of awesome pics at Picasa, but please view at your own risk — you might end up trekking to REI to rent some snowshoes to take advantage of this weekend’s low-elevation winter show yourself!
