[pct-l] Pct-l Digest, Vol 26, Issue 28

[Carl Siechert]

You're right: the snow-avoidance window is fairly narrow, a month or two,
depending on your hiking speed and risk tolerance.

If your goal is to complete a straight-ahead thru hike of the PCT while
minimizing contact with other hikers, your best bet is to go southbound from
Canada.
