>>1625569>can the jags handle the sierra nevadas during winter?that's going to depend on what you're doing in the sierra in winter. cruising around yosemite valley for the morning before getting cocoa at the ahwahnee=/=long distance backcountry snowshoeing.
not that there's anything wrong with cruising around yosemite valley for the morning before getting cocoa at the ahwahnee. pic very related from the last time i did that..
>>1625571i disagree that it's mandatory for all people. as long as there's no significant snow remaining i wear trailrunners or approach shoes for my offtrail sierra trips. that being said, i understand that people with some ankle instability (such as my wife) feel much more comfortable in higher boots.
