[pct-l] North to South--No Really

[davidspangler at hotmail.com (David Spangler)]

I know there has been lots of chatter out there about North to South but is 
anyone considering it?  I know the conditions can change overnight but 
seeing this winter (we live in Hood River, OR) I don't expect us in the 
Northwest to catch up.

So Manning Park Nordic trails are closed to a lack of snow; Stevens Pass, 
Snoqualmie Pass, White Pass and Mt. Hood Meadows (Bennet, Barlow, Wapintia 
Passes area in Oregon) are all closed with no snow on the ground. The ski 
resorts have insisted normal snow patterns will reemerge but I've also heard 
the opposite.

Which leaves the questions of the Goat Rocks and Crater Lake and the 
possibility of late freak storms in the Cascades?

So May 1st Manning Park anyone?  ADZPCTKO North?  Want to avoid the 
possibility of horrendous forest fires in Oregon and Washington; the Sierras 
at the peak of wildflower season--doesn't sound bad if things stay the 
same!!
