Initial plan was to hike Mt. Baldy, but snowy and icy road conditions was too much for my Prius, even with chains it could not make switchbacks, so we retreated to Ice house canyon. Easy going to saddle. There was probably 10 or so people in front of us, but after saddle most of them turned around. We had a great hopes for 2 folks with snowshoes, but after 100 feet they was confused and scared and went back as well, so it was my turn to lead. Very enjoyable exercise sometimes falling chest deep into the snow. Poor Fedor was struggling even to follow, so speed was very slow. We made it to Cucamonga / Bighorn saddle before turning around.
