Hi, Tad!
 
We are offering both 4-day and 2-day snow skills clinics. The 4-day is  
called PCT-Prep and is designed to simulate what you will have to do on the JMT  on 
snow when you get there.  We will attempt to do 10 miles a day on  snowshoes 
or skis making a circuit of Desolation Wilderness. You must be  physically fit 
for this one.
 
The 2-day is a snow camping refresher course designed to teach or remind  you 
of how to deal with on-snow issues like traveling over snow and ice, crampon  
and ice axe use (if requested), avalanche recognition and avoidance, route  
finding, water acquisition, in-tent cooking, frozen boots and canteens,  etc..  
This is a base camp trip; no daily miles except to explore, climb,  learn, 
and laugh. The date working for most people is 4/10-11.  Does that  work for you?
