[pct-l] skipping around the snow in socal

pea asks:

<< so i figure i'll do the more desert-y stuff for now... my question is,
what's the best, southern-most point to get back on the trail, where i
won't hit any snow stuff going north until the sierras? i'd like to do
that chunk, and hopefully by the time i get to walker pass or kennedy
meadows, the snow levels in the section i skipped will be more agreeable
and i can come back and cover that section without having to do any
bypasses. then after THAT, i'll see what the situation is like in the
sierras, and decide whether to do a flipflop or whatever. >>

based on reports I've seen in the last week, it sounds like you could start 
at Cloudburst Summit (PCT mile 398.1 - north of Wrightwood), and walk 
continuously to Kennedy Meadows without having to jump around to avoid lots 
of snow.
