none_dup1 Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 I climbed Red a month ago before the new snow, and it was no problem. Even though it was snowing hard that day and they were blasting away at Cave Ridge, we stayed in the trees up to the SW Ridge and on the ridge itself to the top and felt plenty safe. More recently, we saw ski tracks down the lower face this past Sunday, so even this new snow must have stabilized. The snow on the N. and E. sides of Guye were quite stable on Sunday, for what it's worth. I suspect you'll find a number of tracks through the woods leading to Red, and won't need snowshoes until you are rising up the rib out of Commonwealth Basin, if at all. Good luck, John Sharp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodchester Posted February 16, 2001 Author Share Posted February 16, 2001 Anyone been up to the Snoqualamie pass area in general, and Red Mountain in particular. Thinking about heading up to the area for a little jaunt this weekend. Any recent info is appreciated.... ------------------ Have a nice day.

Alex Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 I was in on Saturday above Source Lake. Conditions would be similar in Commonwealth Basin. Basically stable av conditions, a light 6 inches was on top of consolidated stable stuff. No recent activity, and its only snowed once since then (last night), so you should be fine (but take a beacon anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
