Hit the wrong key.  I love winter backpacking in S., CA hope for the  best 
but expect the worst:
Temperature perhaps in the 90 or low teens. Snow three feet deep on one  side 
of the mountain and grass on the other side. Wind, wind at night can blow  
you away. I would say a 20 degree bag, heavy fleece tops and bottom. A  three 
season tent..Use hiking Poles can be icy, better yet crampons just in  case 
HYOH. Be safe

Hey  yall
I am taking a 2-3 week trip in January (with a group from college)  and want 
to do it on the PCT.  Is there any good place in southern  CA that would not 
require all my friends to buy 4 season gear?   Anyone know the temps on the 
trial in January?
