[pct-l] Echo Lake to Belden CA ( Snow Conditions?)

[AV8TORX at aol.com (AV8TORX@aol.com)]

Hi,  My girlfriend and I are about to head out to Echo Lake to start our 4th 
year of hiking the PCT.  We have hiked the entire PCT up to Echo Lake and hope 
to eventually make it to Canada.  We have encountered plenty of snow along 
the way.  We are curious if anyone has recently made it through the area we plan 
to hike this year?  If so how is the trail to follow?  I heard rumors that 4 
or 5 have made it to Belden CA so far and really complained about the snow.  
If anyone has any recent trail conditions I would appreciate it.  Thanks Dave 
and Nikki
