HST member, John Dittli, put together an article about this year's snow survey:

I spoke with one of the other surveyors a couple of times while hiking Taboose Pass on Saturday. Despite recent storms, it was a walk our dogs kind of day in April. I had to struggle to keep sight of him after he and his companion passed me on the way up. Most years he would have been donning skis, but he described it as being like June already.

Thanks for the article Sean, snow survey without snow.

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.
