Im new here... Anyways I trudged my skis up trail 1016 off exit 47 on I-90 this morning. There is zero snow on the south side of the mountain but on the north side there is a foot or two. Just to enough for skiing. It was a 4 mile hike up but was worth it for the veiw and being able to ski in august (oh wait, its only jan 33rd). I have pics which i may or may not post later.

Nice pics; good to hear there is some snow left somewhere in the Snoqalmie area; kinda crazy that all those rocky areas on the northern side of the mountain are usually still fully snow-covered in mid June.
I saw at the bottom of your TR that you got a ticket from the Fee Demo people. I hear they can be pretty lenient. A friend of mine got out of it once simply by buying the pass. If you had one in your car, maybe you can fax it to them or something. It couldn't hurt to call.
Thanks for the TR and pics. Looks like a good day out for views at least.
Hey Cass, you're back from Europe? How was it? When's the slide show? ;-)

Glad to hear that sometimes they are lenient, 'cause a friend of mine bought a day pass and forgot to put it out at Gold Creek last year. He sent in a photocopy and explanation and got no sympathy. Sometimes you win, sometimes not?
looks like im going to have to try. Its only a 5 dollar ticket and it goes towards a good cause so im not to bend out about it.
