yodelin coverage?

Looking to get some info on how the coverage is at yodelin. Thinking about poking around up there, but not sure if its worth the drive.

Thanks in advance! Lets hope for some more snow!

I tried Yodelin as an early season destination many years ago...it wasn't a good idea. I don't remember the details on how much snow there was at the time but my guess is that there is still a lot of brush on the road heading up there and both the forest and clearcuts probably have a lot of barely covered logs.

haven't been up, but Pete has it right. Don't be fooled by that tiny slope above the upper parking lot: Alder and barely covered trees are the rule until there's quite a bit more base.

I had some friends skin up at Stevens on sat and they said the coverage was okay. No sharks or coreshots, but we thought about wandering down the road for a quick lap.

A lot of brush and FLT have grown in Yodelin in the past several years it is pretty brutal until there is at least 50 inches on the Stevens Pass SNO-TEL

The current reading is 8 inches.

Until the ski area opens, skinning the runs as Stevens is your best bet -- Kehr's aka Big Chief requires minimal coverage and you don't have to deal with creek crossings.

I skied up at Stevens during the road closure. The coverage on the northern aspects is good, but the shrubbery is out everywhere else. Chief doesn't look ski-able to me.  I checked on a friend's cabin at Yodelin.  There might have been 6" on the ground at the highway pullout.

I was focused on the washout from the Tuesday rain event, but you can see Yodelin ski area across the highway in the background. This was taken on Friday.
