How far did you have to hike to before being able to put on skins? Hopefully another week or two and we can skin/ski from Paradise...

We put our skins on at the Stevens Van Trump Memorial via the 4th crossing trail. I think it's a little over a mile.
I'm looking forward to skiing to the car too.

From the visitor center, we put skis on just above Pan Pt. I'd like that too, but don't look at the weather forecast for the next week+.
