Snow 9 Feet Deep at Washington Pass- but lower than last year!

The Washington State Department of Transportation crews went up and evaluated the snow conditions on Wednesday, March 7th.  You can read their report here which states:
Crews found snow depths to be lower than last year.
While we can't start work until the avalanche threat at Stevens Pass diminishes, we're tentatively planning to start the spring clearing the last week of March and are hopeful of opening the first week in May.


A great way to keep track of the DOT's progress is to sign up for their North Cascades Highway Email Update (which is also very entertaining and packed with great photos!)
