Have you looked at the PCTA.org website?  Click on the blog and you will see
the article about how much snow there is on the trail along with satellite
pictures from May 23.  There is a small section of the trail south of Seiad
Valley that looks like it might be snow free, but not more than one day's
hike up Grider Creek and no easy access on the south side of that snow free
portion.  Etna Summit and north looks like it has a lot of snow.  North of
Seiad Valley it looks like the snow starts at Cook & Green Pass
(approximately 15 trail miles north of Seiad Valley) if not before and lasts
until at least past Mt. Ashland ski area.

Does anyone have current info on Etna Summit to Ashland? I figure there may
be too much snow for fast travel.
