Despite everything we have been finding places to ski!
Wednesday Salmon la Sac SKATE. Meet EHS parking lot 3:20 to carpool. We will ski the Cooper Lake Road which has great views and northern exposure to keep the snow. Last week they were grooming when we arrived! Return to EHS 6:45 PM.
Sunday: Skating @ Hyak. Uhuru & I skied there Feb 21 . It was great fun with fantastic views. It was a little icy in the morning, so we are going a little later in the day- things had softened up a lot by then.
Bring sunscreen and sunglasses! I thought we could do a picnic lunch at Grand Junction, about 2km ski from the parking area. Bring some lunch food and we'll ski it to the junction. We can picnic at about 12:30 and then ski back to the cars.
Driving directions: Exit I-90 @ Hyak. Turn Left if coming from Ellensburg, drive straight to second stop sign (Snoqualmie Dr). Turn right (uphill)- follow main road uphill past houses for 0.5 mile. Switchback left (more up) on Innsbruck drive. In less than 0.1 mile turn right (more up) on a dirt road signed "no snowmmobiles." Follow road through some muddy patches 1.0 mile up to saddle. There is parking on the right at a trail junction. Skiing starts there. You will need a moderate clearence vehicle (like a Subaru) to make it. I would probably have made it in the Saturn, but it might be hair raising. Park close- there isn't much space. If anyone wants to park at the turnoff at Snoqualmie Drive and hitch a ride up, that could work too. Be there at 10:40 if you'd like a ride.
