I know that a lot of the members of the pct-l don’t, but we’ve been posting a lot of very snow-hiking relevant info there to help hikers this summer!

As long as the snowpack is consolidated, of course! I’ve been going over it in May for 35 years and haven’t yet had any big hazards, but you do need to know what you’re doing regarding snow skills and making wise decisions!

 

Have you been following all our FB posts, Byron?

Hi, Byron!

 

Best thing you could do for your JMT and PCT thru hikes would be to take one of our SAC-7 snow skills courses! Details here…  http://mountaineducation.org/snow-advanced-course-sierra-pct-nobo-full-course-description/ 

 

I wish I could have taken one of these trips the spring before my thru hike! Take a look at the dates and let me know what you want to do!
