Whitney and the mountains of the Southern Sierra. I had often asked myself, &amp;#8220;What if snowboarding Mt. Whitney was a possibility.&amp;#8221; What began as a question while driving Highway 395 quickly grew to a reality last season. With the right crew of friends and a few other splitboard\\/snowcamping excursions, we were prepared to embark on a most adventurous snowboard mission, to splitboard and ride Mt. Whitney; the lower 48 state&amp;#8217;s tallest mountain.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The photo gallery below is a behind the scenes look at TWS&amp;#8217;s January issue that features&amp;#8221;Range of Light, A Splitboarding Adventure to the Tallest Peak in the Lower 48-Mt.
