PSA:
The NWS always appreciates observations, especially detailed observations that everyone on here is capable of giving. That can be done thru Twitter, as they often set up a feed for that, or the mPing app. That can include final snowfall amounts, when the snow starts/stops, precip type, dew point, etc
This helps them with short term forecasts as well as future forecasts as they can learn from them. A few years ago they had a freezing rain advisory for Leavenworth, but I notified
Yeah, as with any 20k+ summit. Although most the time people die, they are likely inexperienced and made a poor decision to keep pushing despite the forecast inclement weather, or one of their group members die because of bad crevasse rescue techniques. But occasionally an experienced mountaineer will get unlucky and die in an Avalanche, there's only so much precaution you can take to avoid that.
Denali(or Mckinley, I personally don't support changing mountains names, but I think Denali is a much better name than McKinley) hasn't become the sh1tshow that everest has yet, but as with any one of the 7 continental summits, there are too many inexperienced people who pay their way to the top. It's pretty crazy what goes on at Mount everest now, it's just a mountain of trash and rich inexperienced tourists.
Interesting. Poll implies that RFK is pulling quite a bit from Trump... because in a binary choice between Trump and Biden, probably almost all of the West/Stein voters would go for Biden.
