opening night

mudslayer · Mar 12, 2016

Anyone plan on going up for opening night? Couple of us are planning to be there, gotta call and make sure there gonna actually open it on time this year, they dropped the ball last year. We plan on being there for the weekend. When I called last week, I was told the 31st at midnight, but again, was told that last year too.

31st of March? How much snow is usually there when it opens?

mudslayer · Mar 12, 2016

Last year there was 6" to a ft or more. Main parking lot had an inch or so. But it dumped heavy snow all day wheeling, awesome day. Yep March 31/1st. Pic was at top of 311.

The meeting is held in the WA State DNR Conference Room in Enumclaw, on the 2nd MON of every odd numbered month. To find the meeting, continue past the FS Ranger Station on HWY410 (like you are heading to Greenwater) and take a right on 284th AVE SE. Take the first right and park in the paved parking lot.

Damn, working tonight. Like I stated, they dropped the ball last year, hopefully they follow thru and open at midnight like said.

I spoke to Tyler Smith, the FS LEO...I told him there was a group interested in a night run. He said the gate will be open at midnight. Be prepared for a lot of trees to be blocking the trails...please cut them out or turn around. You probably want to pack a couple chainsaws and some extra gas/mix.

Already planned, thanks! Last year suprisingly with all the heavy snow there were not many down trees at all, tons of low hanging branches weighted with wet snow that unfortunately ended up in our laps. My seats were puddles, literally!!! We'll be there waiting for the gate to open.

I have some 37x12.5 tires on stock Chev wheels that will make the 4runner 80" you can borrow.

Bring tire chains. The road up had snow on it. About 1" in the first parking lot. 6" at the Mowich gate. Forecast is sun all week but the trails will be slick.

Gravel road is potholes the whole way, its in horrible shape.
