[pct-l] Snow training

[Keith Robertson]

Mango,
 
It would be best for you to plan a trip out here in the west for snow training. An integral part of the issue is altitude as well as snow. You folks on the east coast really don't have any altitude and it makes a huge difference hiking at 13-14,000 feet with or without snow. Even in ideal conditions, the altitude is a huge physical challenge and you really need to experience it along with training in snow hiking.
