Macson Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 I'll be in Methow for the 4 day weekend. Anyone interested in doing something? Cold hands on rock in Mazama? Hiking? Maybe Silver Star Glacier (is that doable this time of year)? Quote
John Frieh Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 FYI: In the past WA DOT has closed HWY 20 on Thanksgiving weekend... I almost got locked in (I think it was in '99) so check before you go. You can do Silver Star year round... its some great skiing in the spring... You might want to approach from silver star creek if there is a lot of snow on the ground. Quote
John Frieh Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 There aint no snow there dude. Good call... here is the closest camera shot (Sherman Pass) I could find: More info on wsdot.wa.gov Quote
Macson Posted November 22, 2004 Author Posted November 22, 2004 Thanks, ya I didn't figure there'd be much snow up there. At least the pass won't be closed. I hate having to drive down to Stevens. Quote
backcountrydog Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 just fyi that pic that nolse posted wont give you an idea of snow in the methow as sherman pass is no where near the methow valley. Quote
John Frieh Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 just fyi that pic that nolse posted wont give you an idea of snow in the methow as sherman pass is no where near the methow valley. Yeah... I picked that one only because Sherman tends to get a little bit more snow on average than WA pass so it would give him a worst case scenario for what to expect. But yeah... Sherman is definitely east of there... Quote
Macson Posted November 23, 2004 Author Posted November 23, 2004 Actually when I really need a snow report I just call my inlaws and have them look out their window. They have a pretty good view of the mountains from there. Quote
icegirl Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 noaa weather for methow... snow in forcast Quote
specialed Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 just fyi that pic that nolse posted wont give you an idea of snow in the methow as sherman pass is no where near the methow valley. But that's pretty much was WA Pass looks like now too. Quote
dberdinka Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Evidently Rainy Pass was pretty good on Saturday. Phtographic evidence... Quote
Macson Posted November 23, 2004 Author Posted November 23, 2004 (edited) Looks sweet, but the properties imply it was taken in 2001. I guess I'll just spend my time at the Twisp brewery Edited November 23, 2004 by Macson Quote

EWolfe Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I'll be in Methow for the 4 day weekend. What was your crime? Quote
Macson Posted December 4, 2004 Author Posted December 4, 2004 David was away from town for the holiday. My crime was marrying a girl with parents in Methow. I've served 12 years now and I occaisionally get time off for good behavior! Quote
