[pct-l] Snow course info

[d hans]

Mtned,

I'd be interested in the snow course, though i haven't spoken up til now. I'm staging here in the Midwest, but I'm planning on making a stopover in the Reno/Tahoe area (my old stomping grounds) on my way back west before I start my thru. I could try to make the April dates, but if the class is full and you are considering another one, I can't imagine a better time (for me) than early to mid-March. 

Thanks!
Dawn

Hello, Brad, Michael, Phil, and Linda!

Thanks for your interest in this year's PCT-Prep Snow Course. You know the date and the location is Desolation Wilderness off hwy. 50, South Lake Tahoe.

The April 3,4,5 weekend course may be full, but I will put you guys in there if that date works best for you.

Questions: If you could pick the month between now and KO, which works best for your individual schedules?
                 If you could pick the weekend....?

In order to give the best personalized attention to each student out on the snow, I try to limit class size to 8-12. If more folks want to sign on for this year,
I'll have to open up another weekend. 

Let me know what works best for your schedules.

Mtnned

We haven't. We now have over 15,000 miles of hiking using canisters. While 
those alcohol stoves are still heating water we are enjoying our meal cooked 
over isobutane!

See our webpage http://www.gottawalk.com/shipping_fuel.htm for info on 
mailing fuel.

I've been on the L a few times asking about where to resupply fuel
canisters.  I received a few responses.  So I "broke down" and got YOGI.
Yes, it is very good reading and planning information. I'm glad I got it. It
has sections reviewing different types of shoes, socks, packs, bags, pads,
food, cook pots, etc.  BUT, when it comes to stoves there is ONLY one in
YOGI, "Alcohol Stoves."  Nothing else!  Not one comment regarding canisters
or any other type of stove.  Is there a secret socity of the West I'm not
privy to?  Will I die using a fuel canister or worse yet eat cold ramens? I
promise I won't tell anyone here in the EAST ;-)
