Snow run Feb 2nd

Tinkam Rd(sp?) Zip will fill in more details

Tinkham Rd off I-90? I used to go up there all the time!

There's a group going up Saturday, I'll know more when they return on how the conditions are? Whether anyone has gotten to the bowl is my thoughts, excellent area to Play Snow is very deep

Avalanche warnings are at a high right now, the snow conditions will also dictate the run to this area

The group that went up Tinkham road today encountered a tree over the road. Some had to backtrack to I-90 and go around from the eastern direction. Once on the road heading south & up hill they struggled with traction, only went about another mile before turning around.



I'll be watching the weather these next few weeks to see if the conditions get better, we need COLD. Their snow was slushy & wet today

Sunny next week but that usually means the temp will drop. Im getting antsy and need to get out soon. Cle Elum was getting dumped on today from what my parents said

Well there's always Elbe? Snow down there also, Busywild should be a challenge, albit a sloppy one, IF Tinkham doesn't pan out?

Yea Im not into heading out to Elbe this time of year. Green water might have some good places to go?

I agree about Elbe, just throwing it out as a fix. The folks that went up Tinkham today said it was very wet, so it must of been raining quite a bit. Snow level went up to 3500' I believe, hopefully it'll clear & get cold here again soon?

I want to get one more run in before I go into winter maintenance mode

Jon,
Thinking about another date other than the 2nd? Read on the NWW BBS that the conditions were slightly better at Evans this weekend? I'm not sure about the Greenwater area, don't the snow mobilers monopolize that area this time of year? Freezing level is going up to 5000' this week...

I thought I heard it was gonna drop to around 500 feet again Monday night (MAYBE). It will change alot by then so I say we plan on it till the week before and if it looks like it will be bad then we hit Evens instead. Im about ready to hit something soon. I havent had a cigarette since the Monday meeting and I need to take out my aggression on something, so it might as well be my Jeep

Hehe, I can't wait to head out!

Sure I guess we'll take the Tinkham rd exit and go till we cant go anymore or find a good place to sled.

Should be fine but I think we also plan on sledding and stuff like that not so much hard core running

Sorry, I guess it sounded like I meant this coming Sat., but I was actually just referring to the Sat. that you are planning the run on. My bad Anyway, I work every other Sat. and it just so happens that this and the last Jeep run fall on the one I work.
