Looks like 2019 could be a rerun of 2017. The NOBO HOBOS account from mid-June.

Right about now I am glad I booked an end of July start to the JMT 😅. Although, even at that point in the season, there very well may be some snow in the attic & on the roof -with any luck it’ll be at nuisance levels & should make for some georgeous High Sierra scenery. 🏔
Stay tuned for the melt off. 🚣*♀️
Hey, I've been tracking the Sierra snowpack with information High Sierra Winter & Spring backpackers, PCT hikers, & early season JMT hikers could find useful, here;
