Trying to fastpack for 5 days in the snow - TAHOE RIM TRAIL

The Tahoe Rim Trail forms a complete loop 165 miles around the Lake Tahoe Basin on the border of California and Nevada. A thru-hike of the trail typically takes 10-15 days.

My friend Adam and I had planned on fastpacking the trail over a 5 day period in late June of 2019. The only problem is that this happened to be a particularly high snow year, with snowpack in the Sierra Nevada range at over 200% of average, and 33 times the levels of the previous year.

While we expected the snow to significantly slow us down, we were optimistic that we could complete the trail. But we never could have anticipated just how much of a challenge that would prove to be.
