Patrick: Does your visual perception affect your vertigo? I find that bright white expanses of untrod snow washes out details my mind must need to pull together my full sense of balance and is helped by polarized sunglasses. Even true when afoot until i've acclimated to the brightness and mentally to process other proprioceptive cues. That picture of the dtt Sam on Engineer Pass reminded me of my trip over that site, only the wheel path free of snow despite being July 4th. Made me wobbly. Maybe the climb to 12,800' too.
