The pass on Highway 20 opened on Thursday the 10th and now the hot weather is quickly melting the snow. Some cuts were through 60 feet of snow. Anyone up for a early morning run this weekend to see the deep cuts of snow and snow-covered backcountry before it gives way to summer? This is a great time of year because traffic is still low.
According to NOAA Sunday is looking to be warmest as of now - no rain and temps in the mid 60's, with mid 70's and mostly sunny in Twisp (for those that decide to do the entire Cascade loup). There is a chance of rain forecast for later Sunday night but we head back after a break at the Washington Pass overlook.
If you haven't ever taken a sports car on the drive to Washington Pass you've got to try it!
We usually have a mix of cars from different clubs and the early start tends to draw those who are serious about driving. We meet at 7AM Sunday in Snohomish County, PM me for details.
Trivia: They said last Thursday's reopening is the fifth latest since the highway first opened 40 years ago, on Sept. 2, 1972. There has been only one year where it remained open all year - 1976 - as it was a drought year.
