Ashes and Snow—An Interview with SierraDescent’s Andy Lewicky
Andy Lewicky and his blog, SierraDescents, are cornerstones of the SoCal touring scene. We connected with Lewicky shortly after he and his family lost their home in the wildfires.
The home for topical news, travel-related pieces, significant descents, and more in-depth reporting here at The High Route: Mountain Dispatches is where we distill the noise into longer and short-form pieces related to our experiences in the backcountry.
You can find specific Mountain Dispatches here: News, Significant Descents, The Fact Finding, and Travel.
