Though I love the shore
My other love is mountains

Hitting the Slopes Soon?
The WSDOT has some great resources for those heading up to the slopes. Check out the Mountain Pass website before you leave home. You’ll see current conditions and key details like whether you need chains or all-wheel drive. They also have a whole Winter Driving section, making your life easier and less dramatic. With that, I’d recommend you pack and keep a winter kit in your car. Well, at least until March.

The entity that we think of nowadays as Snoqualmie Pass really came to being during the 1950s and the creation of the Interstate System.
