[pct-l] snow conditions



     I just hike the PCT in the San gabriel mtns up Mt. Balden-Powell.  
     Above 8,000 feet there is still a lot of snow 3 to 5 feet and no 
     trail visible but if you follow the footprints up the mtn side you 
     will reach the top (9399ft) and can see the tip of a PCT sign 
     sticking up above the snow below the summit.  By the time the thru 
     hikers reach this point the snow depth should be less.  This part 
     of the PCT is in section D.  Also for some reason Hwy. 2 is closed 
     at Mt. Balden-Powell parking lot. Hope this info. helps thru 
     hikers.  Good luck. - Matthew
