[pct-l] 2011 Snowpack

[ned at mountaineducation.org]

As was taught in my SAR Academy and Avalanche courses, no backcountry 
traveler ventures away from the trailhead without knowing the conditions 
where they are going. Follow the weather trends for a few weeks beforehand 
and watch the satellite photos of the area to know what is coming 
(http://www.noaa.gov/).

At this time, the satellite is showing lots of activity in the western 
Pacific and it's mostly headed our way. Sure, the season could dry up; we've 
seen that happen, too, but educate yourself and watch what weather does. 
Then when you see the signs while walking the trail, you won't be surprised 
when the weather changes...
