Kevin, that's good news - reading the DV Morning Reports the last few days, they're calling for snow levels to drop to 2000 feet by tomorrow afternoon, so I was really getting concerned - mainly about the Wildrose road as much as anything else.
I'm going to run out to Dick's or REI this afternoon and try on some waterproof boots. I'll go ahead and buy if I find a pair that feels like minimal/no break-in. I won't use them much, but for situations like this they'll be nice to have when confronted with deeper-than-expected snow. I've never run into anything that my Merrell Moabs couldn't handle, but they haven't been in snow deeper than 3-4 inches, and then only for relatively short stretches. They're really "breathable", which means they soak pretty easily in soppy conditions - though they dry quickly. I've used these Moabs for 6 years now, and am on my 3rd pair (about 700 miles each on the first two sets). Time to expand my horizons.
Again, Kevin, I appreciate all the advice and info you've supplied! Catpappy and I will be camped at Texas Spring Wednesday through Tuesday morning. If you're in the area, drop by and have a brew (or climb something with us). I'm easy to spot - I'll be the guy in the red UGA ballcap. The dweeb in the piss-yellow Georgia Tech cap would be Catpappy. If you chance on us after Saturday, we'll be the two guys looking exhausted after Mr. Pickering kicks our butts up and down Corkscrew . . .
