Dot cams are down and obs stations are down. I think that central can might be on batteriesQuote:

Yes, power is definitely out. If power does come back by Sunday, I'm betting on a bottleneck due to reduced driving lanes 5 miles from the summit and less parking at alpy and other base areas.
Wsdot reporting 38 yes 38 natural slides came down onto 90

Anyone have an idea approximately how much they got after the cooldown?
It's back up (as is creaky?)

Thanks. Did not check if it was back. Always a little weird after it has been down for a while but looks like at least 6 inches?Quote:

I'd guess more like 12-14".
The 12-14" matches the forecast for yesterday. If I90 really does not open until Sunday morning, I'd be very surprised if they could get the hill ready to run and operate on Sunday. I think Monday is most probable.Quote:

Yeah, you are right. I was reading it wrong. I hope you are wrong on alpental tomorrow, but guessing you have that nailed too. I will ski west tomorrow if that is all there is at this point!
:)
Yeah, not Alpental specifically. I was thinking of the Summit as a whole for Monday. Though we get a bonus with Alpental open the following Monday (1/17) for MLK Day.Quote:

Surfpow amongst giant chunder debris with blue ice lenses on the rollovers, sounds about normal

That sounds wonderful, it’s really good for the base I hearQuote:

The refrozen debris fields shall be glorious! Only question is what will be the comparable appliance? Toaster, microwave, or washing machine?Quote:

That sounds like a bunch of work. I was complaining in north bend! I should be quiet..Quote:

Official update "I-90 Snoqualmie Pass on track to open Sunday. A time to be provided late Sunday morning."
Late Sunday morning announcement does not sound promising for Sunday skiing.
Their website:
All areas at The Summit will remain closed Saturday, January 8 and Sunday, Jan 9 due to I-90 extended closure. We plan to re-open Monday, Jan 10 pending the status of I-90, but may have delays and limited operations. We will continue to provide updates as soon as we have them.
