Well, I had my thumb screwed back together this Thursday, and whether we can get up there within the window of accessible snow is under question now. But they have an above normal snowpack so I am not giving up quite yet.
Thanks for all the suggestions. To clarify, we are looking at at 1-2 day paddle in, 7-8 days of hiking/skiing, then 1-2 days paddle out. I am leaning towards wrapping in tarps/plastic from kayak shipping , then not worrying too much if they get a bit wet
