RE: Average opening week temps
How high in elevation??? I do 12,00 ft to 13,000 ft for ML season in unit 19 I use a 0* bag and backpack in. If you have a 0* bag use it. It is easier to open it up to cool down than it is ti freeze all night.
I've seen it 80* and dry and I've have 12" of snow and 15*.
