Skyline next week

Postby marmot » Fri Dec 18, 2009 10:37 pm

So I'm planning on hiking the Skyline sometime next week, anyone else going up? I would like a hiking companion.

I would prefer to go with somebody, as i dont like hiking alone, especially the skyline (in winter nonetheless).

What day were you thinking of hiking?
Can the Skyline trail from Palm Springs to the Tram be safely navigated now that it has snowed?

I've done Skyline with snow several times, and each time the snow was soft and the passage safe. The danger here is that the recent storm may have laid a thin sheet of snow over a now-invisible sheet of ice. The traverses and the area above Coffman's could be problematic. If you go, good luck, and I hope you'll post about conditions when you get back.

Hey Marmot,
I wonder if you realize that you are summing over n vertices of a regular polygon on a complex plane. Nice avatar!
