[pct-l] Oregon in April?

In April, it is more than likely that 90% of the entire PCT in Oregon will still be in snow.

Despite its relatively low elevation, it's still a lot further north, and I figured I might have just as much snow trouble there by starting so early. So far, I have not been able to find any online resources addressing this. I'd be very grateful for anyone's tips or advice!
