WA Pass/Hwy 20

Looks like their plan is to begin clearing on April11.

Yee haaa.  It'll be like the Oklahoma Land Rush.  Go on an git yers.  IMHO, it's a travesty that hwy 20 exists at all.  That someone consumes fuel to clear this stretch of otherwise perfectly fine and orderly wilderness is icing on the cake.  Give the great bar some room to roam south towards the tourists and dumpsters of Leavenworth.  Give the wolverines some room to breath.  Let's put a little bit of suspense, red in tooth and claw, back into the mix in the Washington Cascades. 

I reckon this will be interesting.

to the second post : :

Pretty sure the tiny amount of roads in the park are having no effect on the wolverines and the bars (whatever those are? maybe bears?).

Well I for one am excited for my annual trip up HWY 20 when it opens.... where I will camp for a few nights and pick random slopes to ride within the wonderful playground that is Washington Pass..


So sign me up for the "land rush" please

Yee Haaa!

I noticed that the  D.O.T. Kodiak snowblower that is used at Stevens was partially buried in a slide . I wonder if the operator is O.K. ? I believe this is the same machine they bring up to S.R. 20 to clear Wash. Pass. If there's damage to it will it delay the start date ? X
