[pct-l] Section Hike

[Jeffrey Olson]

Summer snow levels aren't really projected til April.  Right now my 
sister's house at 4000' in southeast Bend has over three feet of snow on 
the ground - unheard of in the 20 years she's lived there.  AT 6300' on 
Mt. Bachelor the snow is 100" deep today.  At the 7300' level, it's 
122".  The resort has had 316" of snow since October 1.

McKenzie Pass, at 5300' has opened as late as July 29.  If you've free 
time, you could link the opening dates to April 1 snow levels.
