Hi was in there for three days over the weekend. It was quite deep on Friday but by Sunday the snow was fast becoming water. I didn't bring snow shoes and I wouldn't of needed them anyway, so I doubt you will need them.

Also the track was clear ontop of Pelion Gap.

Hey All,

Thanks for the updates. I start my walk on Friday. I'll try and put together a full track report on my return.

Thanks again.
