[pct-l] RE: Snow in Section D

[joph at piedmontbsa.org (JoPH)]

Wow! Donna, thanks for this update. Does anyone on the list know if anyone
has blazed a trail through there yet? Knowing how easy it is to get lost in
the snow, I'm not sure we want to be the first through there-to the point of
considering delaying our departure. Does anyone have any advice on this? Or
how long it might be before the snow gets to a more manageable level?

Thanks, Jo

Subject: Snow in Section D

I just got a report on the snow in Section D from Todd up at North Fork, who
got the information from the district ranger.

Highway 2 (Angeles Crest Highway) is closed above Islip Saddle due to SIX
FEET of snow still on the road.  The ranger's estimation of snow on Baden
Powell is that it is probably double that depth up higher.

Just thought you'd all want to know . . . seems like good year to bring snow
shoes!
