My father and I are starting out on Saturday from Durango for a week on the CT. We had a high snow year here in New England, so I was a little concerned about snowpack. After floundering around, glissading at speed, and postholing crotch-deep in the Wasatch-Cache this past week (they also had a very high snow year), I am now very concerned about snowpack. Has anyone been on the western part of the Trail recently? I'm starting to wonder if I should be packing the ice axe and microspikes.
Also, what are overnight temperatures usually like? From what I can discern, I shouldn't be surprised by mid-30's, and the 45 bag should probably stay home.
