Re: Need to find a group for a 4 night trip
Despite the low snow year, I would expect snow in may on all high passes. It may be snow free, but I wouldn't bet on it, and I would be surprised if it was. No harm, no foul, as if you cannot make the pass you can simply turn around and still have an amazing trip. I love early season, and my early season trips are usually out and backs because of steep snow.

Yes they were able, but you have to take into consideration whether the person whoSportsguy81 wrote:

wrote that was experienced or not. It is easier for someone who has gone over the pass
before to do the trail with some snow on it, if they pick the right time of the day so
the snow is not hard/icy or to soft (postholing). If tracks from previous backpackers are
present then it will be easier, just be very cautious.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
