philfort Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Wow, you're demanding! I was up around Snoqualmie Peak last wknd. Snow was bombproof, no snowshoes needed up to about 5200ft (as high as we went). The NE slab of the Tooth looked bare (rock), so I assume the N. Face of Chair is similar. The road leading to Ingalls Peak is closed to vehicles at '29 Pines' (a campground I assume), according to the ranger station (apparently due to logging operations - snowmobiles and foot traffic ok). I don't know where 29 Pines is along the road. I bet due to lack of snow, that the n slope of Whitehorse is mighty brushy lower down. I would guess that you could drive to the Big Four Ice Caves trailhead. don't know about anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

none_dup1 Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Yes, Mike. You'll pay dearly for that one! And yes, Max, the South Rib of Guye is worth the trip, and you can still hit the Issaquah Brew Pub for lunch as we did. Cheers, John Sharp (Still wondering why I registered as "Mr. Good Time.")
