Not if you have to travel very far. Barely enough snow to unload in the parking lot and not much good snow up high. It's very wind blown an inconsistent, hard in one spot and 15" of soft in another. You can get up the middle fork but first 3 miles are rocks and ice and north fork rocks and ice for many miles.

That bad huh? No glimmers of hope for those who know where to look? Well I guess we gotta take the bad with the good. Damn responsibilities always getting in the way ?

A guy can find ok snow in the shaded areas and trees, it's worth going if you live within an hour or less but definitely would not travel very far to ride there. I live in Kennewick so about two hours away but ride there almost every weekend and I would have probably stayed home or went elsewhere had I known. We found ok snow but not great.

yakima, wa.
that sucks about the sled! any new reports on the snow! how bad is it from the snow park to the snow? should I put on my spring skis ?
Gate is open on middlefork.
U have to drive up the icy gravel rd to the snow. Do not drive past whites ridge rd, u will get a ticket.
I wouldn't tow a trailer up there unless u chain up and can disconnect the trailer and turn it around by hand.
