Smack talk - ladies' division

LSU's Angel Reese disses Caitlin Clark by pointing to the finger her championship ring will be on.

Ms. Clark reacts to getting T'ed up after petulantly flipping the ball into the seats after a foul.

Meanwhile, the White House suggested both LSU and Iowa might be invited there for the traditional celebration. This is a really bad idea and dilutes the joy of winning a championship.

All Bets Are Off: Why the PCT will be More Dangerous than Ever This Year

We've been beating the drum about the implications of this epic snow pack for the past couple of months. It is important that the Class of 2023 really take the message to heart. This will be a dangerous year to be hiking the PCT and not to be tackled by the inexperienced backpacker . . . even seasoned veterans will need to be exceedingly careful. If you don't believe us, read this excerpt of a recent article from the SF Gate.

By Eric Brooks (March 27, 2023), SF Gate

The Pacific Crest Trail draws thousands of people from all experience levels annually. Hikers regularly contend with challenges like hypothermia, heat exhaustion, poisonous plants, lightning, bears and rattlesnakes, along with wildfires and other impacts of climate change. But this year, experts warn, hikers face one of the greatest risks in the trail’s history: the record-setting Sierra Nevada snowpack.

"These large snowpacks can be susceptible to fast melt if the weather conditions are right," Andrew Schwartz, lead scientist at the Central Sierra Snow Lab, told SFGATE. "Periods of above-average temperatures, particularly if they're prolonged, can cause significant rises in stream and river flows, which can be dangerous.”

As of early March, the Sierra snowpack was already 177% above average — and could end up being the largest since the PCT was designated a National Scenic Trail in 1968. And it’s not just the Sierra. The mountains of Southern California have also seen record-setting snow totals this winter. Meanwhile, the Cascade Range — the third of three mountainous territories found along the PCT in Washington, Oregon and Northern California — has seen 99% of its average snowpack in a winter that’s smacked much of its southerly neighbors right in the mouth.

Although sunny, warm weather often shows up between Southern California and the Bay Area by May and certainly June, California’s mountains are usually still covered in snow. In fact, May and June are generally a hazardous time to hike the Sierra as "much of the trail will still be covered in snow and creeks will be full of fast-moving water, making fords dangerous," per the Pacific Crest Trail Association. Even the Tahoe section of the PCT is known to have "difficult" snow conditions into July.

Yet another cause for concern is the number of hikers setting out on the PCT. Over the past decade, the popularity of the PCT has exploded, thanks in large part to Cheryl Strayed's book "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail," and the subsequent 2014 movie starring Reese Witherspoon. The total number of issued permits skyrocketed from 1,879 in 2013 to almost 8,000 in 2019.

"More people are taking more risks and going out early in the season during heavy snow years,” Jack Haskel of the PCTA said. “There have been many preventable tragedies during the heavy snow years that were caused by large snowpacks and people traveling across steep snow, mountains covered in snow and through creeks with snowmelt. Each of these tragedies were avoidable."

Some thru-hikers, like Robert Scheer, have already started their PCT journey.

"I've been to these mountains a lot as a kid," said Scheer, who was born and raised in San Diego. "You usually get one, two storms a year. This prolonged onslaught of weather that San Diego, Southern California and really California as a whole state is having is just something that's totally bizarre. I knew that going in. I knew that starting the PCT, it was going to be a wild year."

Schneer, acknowledging the life-threatening risks that come with a record Sierra snowpack, said 2023 "is going to be the year of the flip," where hikers take on large sections of the PCT in pieces — many times out of order. "All bets are off," he said. "The idea of hiking a continuous path from Mexico to Canada, that's not going to happen this year. I just don't see very many people doing that."

Haskel, who thru-hiked the PCT himself in 2006, recalled dealing with that risk when he went during a season just after an above-average snowpack. "Some of the creek crossings were unacceptably dangerous," he said. "I thought it was too risky and it wasn't something I should be doing in June in a heavy snow year."

"I was in my early 20s and an experienced wilderness traveler used to taking a lot of risks," Haskel remembered. "By the time I got to the Sierra Nevada, I was very physically fit. If I died, it was a risk I was clear-eyed in taking and I went for it. After you successfully do something risky, sometimes you look back and think that might have been too far across the line. I did that."

There have been weighty snowpacks before, namely in 2006, 2011, 2017 and 2019, and certainly there have been deaths related to these conditions. But there are no official statistics for injury or death along the PCT. The route is managed by a laundry list of federal, state and county agencies, Native American sovereignties and even private landowners. But it’s common knowledge that big snow years lead to tragedy and heartbreak for unprepared PCT hikers, Haskel said.

Located at Pacific Crest Trail Mile 1028, Sonora Pass is one of the highest passes along the trail.

The snow that’s sitting in Southern California’s mountains has already led to dozens of search-and-rescue efforts in the year’s first three months. That could mean many early-season PCT hikers will see conditions they’ve never faced that far south, only increasing in difficulty as they make their way north into the Sierra. 

"I’ve never seen that much snow in the mountains of Southern California," Haskel said.

He is advising weekend backpackers and day-hikers to delay their hikes until August, when the Sierra snow has melted. But for thru-hikers who need five months to complete the trail, Haskel knows leaving later isn’t an option. Those braving the PCT thru-hike in the face of the trail's record-setting snowpack "generally accept risks and challenges that are not the norm for most normal backpacking trips" in leaving earlier, he said.

Schneer, who plans to pick up the PCT again as a solo thru-hiker once the weather clears, will likely hike to the start of the Sierra section before taking on the northernmost section of the PCT in June. He then hopes to "flip" and do the Sierra portion of the trail last, once the snow has melted. 

"People are looking for miles that they can do safely," he explained. "I don't think anyone wants to slog through feet and feet of snow and do one or two miles a day. That's not what I signed up for."
