Winter Boots

It is hard to tell when you will be starting or when you will be moving through the high part of the Sierra Nevada. If you are trying to go up the south side of Forester Pass and if it is a big snow year, then you might need all of the traction gear that you can find.

I know that it is still too early for decent snow forecasting, but the earliest guesses are that this may be a thin snow year. At this moment, things are dry, and the weather has shown no signs yet of shifting into a winter pattern.

Its too early to tell what will happen this winter, but where are you planning on going? If its around Tahoe (let's say Desolation) then unless its some kind of huge, bibilical snow year, you won't need full snow/ winter gear. Its lower elevation there and June 28 is getting on in the summer. If its a big snow year (which i'm hoping for! let's ski!) then at that point you'd hit some snow perhaps, but most likely just patches, lots of runoff, and a bunch of mosquitoes.

If you're going high elevation, then that's a different story. Could need some different equipment.
