At one point last century, there were plans for some telepheriques around Ross Dam. The one that came very close to happening was up Ruby Mtn. And there were also some plans to put ones up Sourdough (I think) and Pyramid Peak. All good choices, I say. If it had happened, then that photo in green Beckey of that guy in city clothes standing on the Colonial Glacier, wouldn't be so weird.

Just got off the phone with the ranger at Verlot and asked when they planned to close the road at Heather Lake up to the Mt Pilchuck Lookout. He informed that they are never going to close it! After helping someone get unstuck on the road last night (which halted our plans for our ascent and overnight trip to the lookout) I thought they would for sure close it as the road is real bad, meaning you need chains and a high clearnace vehicle. I sure hope folks are using our tracks from Saturday to track down the direct route. Anyone want to go up to the lookout and smoke me out?

Ok, that would be pretty ridiculous, considering all the other stuff they don't bother plowing (like highway 410 beyond Crystal mtn turnoff, Mtn Loop highway to barlow pass, etc....)

I don't think they ever close it, in the sense of gating it. I've been up there in late December, and March-April, and never seen a gate. But I doubt they plow it either, which makes sense since it's a dirt road most of the way up. I've had to park and walk the last mile or so in late winter.

Maybe they should install the telepherique at Red Bridge.

They only keep the gate open, but never plow. Up to the last mile was easy going in a 4-wheel drive w/o chains, but from there on it could get nasty as far as ground clearance on the vehicle. Maybe with some nice weather it could provide easy access.

I don't think hardly a day goes by, any time of year, any kind of weather, weekdays, doesn't matter, there's at least 1 person stumbling around somewhere on Pilchuck. If you're into skiing there's a nice steep chute, couple hundred feet down the SE side. Saw 3 dudes ski it last spring, worked for plunge step/stand up glisade too.
