[pct-l] "Snow Advice" on Facebook

[Ned Tibbits]

Mountain Education is posting "Snow Advice" in Question/Answer form on their Facebook page to help PCT thru hikers prepare for dealing with snow on their hike. 
They will, also, be giving this advice and more to the PCTA to be used on their website, as well. 
If you’re not interested in taking one of their skills training courses, they will be down at the Kickoff teaching the "Mountain Safety and Snow Travel" seminar, too!
To better prepare yourselves for walking and camping in snow on your thru hike, head out this winter and spend a little time in it! Granted, the snow will be soft powder right now, vastly different from the hard, consolidated snow of sierra spring, but your experience getting around in it, getting to water safely, camping, pitching, staying warm and dry will all help you chose what to bring later, clothing, food, gear, and so forth.
