snow pack has averaged 170% of normal thru out the Sierra Nevada this year according to the snow surveys. Water content is effectively 7.5 feet (that is water contained in the pack). That in and of itself is amazing. The pack will settle to approx 50% of height (in general) and then the water will let lose. This the most crucial time for the trail with regards to saturation and turbidity. Tread lightly and use good common sense when out there.
