Road was open. There was hardly any snow until midway up the switchbacks to colchuck lake, and even then, the snow was inconsistent at best. My guess is you're fine. And make sure your camera has batteries (unlike mine) and post pictures.

Yeah I got a good look. Looked like thin sugary snow down low, with maybe some ice up top? But it was continuous. Weather was pretty warm this weekend, so melt cycle going on now. And start tuesday/wednesday temps are suppose to drop up there to below freezing during night and day so perhaps more will form.

Happy Birthday Paul. I got an idea if you ever get those things out that jar.

John, Looks life fun. Hopefully another trip it'll workout. T-minus ten days before I'm on ice!

Report from the weekend: There is some ice on dragontail and colchuck, though mostly up high and thin. The only line that really looks continuous is the one between TC and backbone. I heard some big ice/rock fall saturday after noon. Around 6500-7K the snow gets annoying on aasgard pass. Once on top the snow is continuous, pretty deep to hard crust. It was windy as all hell satuday night and sunday morning. Mt. Stuart was completely covered in white. Sherpa looked like fun.

Anyone wanna road trip this weekend?

Ok, after a little research found this from the US Customs and Border page, so hopefully this will help some other people: Land Travel Beginning January 31, 2008, U.S. and Canadian citizens 19 years and older who enter the U.S. at land and sea ports of entry from within the Western Hemisphere will need to present government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license as proof of identity, along with proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or naturalization certificate, or a passport. Children age 18 and under will be able to enter with proof of citizenship. Verbal claims of citizenship and identity alone will not be sufficient to establish identity and citizenship for entry into the United States. But I'd still appreciate from any people who have done that if they recieved any trouble, etc. Thanks again.

Long story short... Has anyone crossed the border recently WITHOUT a passport/EDL? I might have my EDL by the date I'm going but there is no guarentee. Just wondering if the old driver's license and birth certificate will still get me through. Thanks for any help/advice.

I had an inch of snow on my car this morning.

Thanks Dane. I still want to take you up on your offer/idea of climbing dragontail etc in the winter/spring.

26 or so last night at last night around ~1700. It cleared up and The Stuarts look awesome today.

Pat, I got a nice .22 rifle. I'd be happy to help with your project. Next time you're on this side of the mountains let me know, and I know plenty of places to shoot around here.

snow level was down to about 2k last night/this morning. all the hills north of ellensburg were coated in white. its getting close!

if only it wasn't finals week right after this!
