Snoqualmie Pass has been deserted thru Christmas but there are still opportunities for snowshoeing the WAC Trail System, Commonwealth Basin, Gold Creek, as well as exploring the backcountry with their free heel skis. We should have plenty of snow by New Years. We had an excellent Snow Dinner despite the pouring rain! Nick Nichols prepared his famous ribs! A won- derful group of people participated and we had a fine array of delicious food. Thanks also to Susan Ashlock for taking us to Nepal. We appreciate everyone that attended! Guye Cabin is in excellent shape and ready for lots of use over the winter. Folks are using it as a base to meet, play, rest, have a hot lunch, and spend weekends and vacations year-round. There are almost always WAC members and their guests at the Cabin. Do your part to keep the Cabin clean and running smoothly. Sign the Cabin Log, pay your fee for you and your guests when you arrive, and introduce yourself to every- one. Help out by doing a chore or two, and haul recyclables and trash home. See something that needs to be done? Go ahead and do it! This is important- The Summit has done a great job of plowing our parking area so far this winter. We owe our winter parking to the Summit and Sahalie so please follow our parking process. Don’t forget to carpool, and if you bring guests, you might unload and shuttle extra cars over to the Summit hotel. Be sure to wave and make friends with Summit snowplow drivers, Summit Security, and Sahalie folks when you see them. Please only park in our parking area, and if we need more we should park only at the far North end of the Sahalie side. Everyone will have to do their part to ensure our signs, cones, pylons, and tape are out in the parking area all day on the weekends and holidays. If you see them out of place, blown over, etc. please put them back where they should be. In our daily lives we are part of many different communities- our home, our neighborhood, school, work, yo- ga class, running club, church, and the most special – the WAC! Of course it is this sense of community that makes our Club so special. We are a diverse group of family and friends that enjoy seeing each other, spend- ing lots of time together, and providing support for each other. We love introducing people to the wonders of the outdoors, teaching them new skills, growing their confidence, and stretching their boundaries as we all grow in our lives. Get outside and make friends with the great people that make up the WAC! Enjoy the snow and winter weather!

  • Sahalie Historical Note #7: the Snoqualmie Pass Ski Lodges
    Sahalie Historical Note #7: The Snoqualmie Pass Ski Lodges The history of club lodges at Snoqualmie Pass begins in 1914 and expands through the 1920s and 1930s, when enthusiasm for winter recreation first began to take off in the Northwest. The earliest general news article that describes the various accommodations at the Pass dates from 1933.1 It describes the Kendall Peak Lodge “built by a group of Seattleites” and the College Club’s lodge above Lake Keechelus, called either Mountain Goat Lodge or Roaring Creek Lodge; the article also notes a lodge run by the Helen Bush School for Girls. All have since disappeared, to my knowledge. (If you know differently, or can provide background, speak up.) Newspapers around 1940 also mention a Sno‐Owl Ski Club with a cabin at the Pass, but I can’t find anything more about it. Another good summary article of ski clubs in the area was published in late 1944.2 Enos Bradner noted that, “ Skiers who reside in the vicinity of Seattle have spread out before them as varied and as exciting a ski terrain in the Cascades and the Olympics as will be found anywhere in the United States….” The main anchors over the years at Snoqualmie Pass include the Mountaineers, Seattle Ski Club, Sahalie, Washington Alpine and, more recently, Berghaus. Here is a quick snapshot with some history for each. The Mountaineers. This venerable organization (founded in 1906) is the oldest club to have had a lodge in the Snoqualmie Pass area. The Mountaineers built its first lodge just west of the summit above Rockdale in 1914.

  • Winter Summits
    EVERETT MOUNTAINEERS Recommended Winter Summits Snow and weather conditions greatly influence the difficulty of winter scrambles. Because conditions change very quickly, things like road access, avalanche hazard, strenuousness, and summit success can vary a tremendous amount. So these ratings are only a rough comparison of the peaks. Winter scrambling can be a dangerous activity. Be a smart scrambler -- be willing to turn back if conditions are unsafe. Even a slight deviation from the surveyed routes may affect exposure and avalanche hazard considerably. The fact that a peak is listed here does not represent that it will be safe. Exposure Rating Avalanche Rating A: Falling will only get snow on your face. B: Falling may require self arrest, but usually good A: Usually safe in high, considerable, moderate, and low run-out. avalanche conditions. C: Falling requires self arrest, unchecked falls could B: Often safe in moderate and low conditions. be serious. C: Only recommended in low conditions.

  • Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River Valley Interpretive Plan
    Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River Valley Interpretive Plan University of Washington Department of Landscape Architecture March 2004 F O R E W O R D An interpretive plan is a map for future action. It is a framework for making decisions about which and how stories about a place are best told, to achieve desired goals. It serves as a basis for creating materials, facilities and programs that deliver messages aimed at revealing relationships, provoking investigation, and inspiring action. A good interpretive plan answers the standard interrogative questions: who will it serve, what are the themes and stories important to convey, and why—for which goals—should it be created? Drawing upon the strength of real places to stimulate imagination and congeal memories, where should the stories be told? Finally, how—through which methods—are the messages about a particular place most effectively revealed, related to the individual’s experience, and used to enlarge one’s relationship with that place? This Interpretive Plan for the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River Valley was developed as part of an undergraduate landscape architecture studio working on two park sites along the river. The purpose of the plan was to create a preliminary document to guide development of interpretive facilities in the valley, while also informing the park conceptual design work. It was accomplished primarily through student research, and in a workshop at the University of Washington where individuals most familiar with the valley’s stories shared their expertises. This plan is only a beginning, providing a framework that requires substantial fleshing out, further development and creative application.

  • Chapter 3: the Affected Environment
    Chapter 3: The Affected Environment 3.0 THE AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.0.1 Introduction Chapter 3 – The Affected Environment describes the physical and biological environment (e.g., water resources, wildlife, etc.) as well as the human environment (e.g., social and economic factors, recreation, etc.), which may be affected by the range of alternatives, as described in Chapter 2 - Alternatives. Much of the information on the affected environment is compiled from detailed technical reports and other analyses prepared by the USFS and consultants. Some of these reports are attached to this FEIS as appendices. All reports are available for review as part of the Analysis File maintained for this project at the MBSNF Supervisor’s Office. References cited in this FEIS are provided in Chapter 5 - References. 3.0.2 Analysis Area The “analysis area” (referred to as the “Study Area” throughout this document) varies by resource area. The Study Area includes all public (USFS) lands as well as private land owned by Ski Lifts, Inc. and other land holders. When discussing individual projects within the Study Area, the following terms are used to distinguish the different locations within the SUP: Summit East, Summit Central, and Summit West, are collectively referred to as “The Summit.” Alpental, when discussed individually, is referred to as “Alpental.” All four ski areas are collectively referred to as “The Summit-at-Snoqualmie.” Figure 3.0-1, Study Area illustrates the boundaries of the Study Area, including The Summit and Alpental.

    Corridor Sketch Summary Printed at: 4:30 PM 3/29/2018 WSDOT's Corridor Sketch Initiative is a collaborative planning process with agency partners to identify performance gaps and select high-level strategies to address them on the 304 corridors statewide. This Corridor Sketch Summary acts as an executive summary for one corridor. Please review the User Guide for Corridor Sketch Summaries prior to using information on this corridor: SR 906: Snoqualmie Pass Access This three-mile long north-south corridor lies at the summit of Snoqualmie Pass. The corridor passes near the Summit at Snoqualmie ski area and includes a 0.4-mile long spur located near the southern junction with Interstate 90. The spur provides access to WSDOT’s Hyak Maintenance Facility. The corridor’s character is rural. Land uses on the corridor includes major ski areas and other recreational areas, commercial facilities, a motel, a service station, a rest area, and a United States Forest Service office. The north end of the corridor has a commercialized area with major ski areas such as Alpental, Summit West, Summit Central, and Summit East. The south end of the corridor is less commercialized with forests and includes the Summit Nordic Center, Hyak Sno- Park and Sno-Play areas, and the Gold Creek Sno-Park. These areas offer a variety of winter recreation including alpine skiing, snowboarding, Nordic skiing, winter tubing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. There are recreation and year-round homes on the mountainside throughout the corridor. A notable water feature near the south of the corridor is the Keechelus Lake.
