Snow season guru Ned Tibbits had these thoughts: I finally got around to reading Sologirl's account in the snow short of Trail Pass on the PCT last June. First, it is interesting that we were in

I’ve been making my way through the Backpacker Radio podcasts and haven’t gotten to this one yet. Thanks for this. I’ll bump this episode to the top and start listening to it today. ? This

I listened as well a couple a days ago. Sobering account of 2017, starting every day at 2am to make miles before the snow starts to melt. Snow shoes vs crampons vs microspikes and other important
