[pct-l] winter JMT travel

[Lonetrail at aol.com (Lonetrail@aol.com)]

On doing winter backpacking on the PC I ran across a couple who were skiing  
and snow shoeing. They had what some call Ski Skates short skies and they 
would  take of like ice skating on level and down hill put on snow shoes going up 
steep  grades. Really made good time. Both were in the best of aerobic shape.

Garret,

Did you go on your winter trip on the JMT?  Sorry  it took me 3 weeks  to 
respond.  I should have noticed Donna's  referral, also, but missed it,  too. 
 Now, 
as I week through 400  e-mails from the past, it appears I missed  being able 
to help you  out.

Also, Yes!  I have skied the entire length twice (both  directions) and  
snow-shoed it once (won't do that again!).   I've summer hiked it four more  
times. 
I guess it's obvious, it's my  favorite stretch of trail between the PCT  and 
the CDT.

There  is so much to say about how to do it and be safe, however by now   
you've probably already done it for yourself.  So, how did it  go?
