The snow line is currently between my house and the local brewery.

The first snowfall of the season

A crisp fall morning at Snoqualmie Pass, Washington, featuring the historic Washington Alpine Club rope tow area. A rustic shack and weathered utility poles rest among colorful alpine meadow brush, framed by deep evergreen forest. Beyond, the first snow of the season dusts a rugged mountain ridge under a brilliant blue sky, evoking the quiet anticipation of winter’s return.

Asahel Curtis Picnic Area, Snoqualmie Pass – 2025
#SnoqualmiePass #AsahelCurtis #NaturePhotography

A lush forest scene at Asahel Curtis Picnic Area, Snoqualmie Pass, Washington. Towering cedar and fir trees rise into the sky, with sunlight piercing through the canopy and casting beams of light. A massive fallen tree lies across the mid-frame like a natural bridge, covered in moss. The shaded forest floor below is dense with ferns and green undergrowth, while patches of sunlight brighten the foliage and create a serene, timeless atmosphere.

High-angle photograph of Franklin Upper Falls near Snoqualmie Pass, Washington. A short, wide upper cascade slides over dark, smoothed bedrock into a circular, emerald-green pool where pebbles are visible through clear water. A weathered log spans the basin diagonally. Below, a second narrow chute pushes whitewater through a tight rock cleft into a smaller lower pocket and out of frame. Steep canyon walls are mottled with moss and ferns, and dense fir and cedar branches cast dappled shade across the scene. Lighting is mixed sun and shadow; colors skew cool—deep greens and blue-greens contrasted with gray-brown rock. The mood is quiet, secluded, and alpine.

Snow-covered jagged mountain peaks at Snoqualmie Pass glow in a brilliant pink-orange alpenglow as the sun rises. The snowfield and craggy ridges stand out vividly against the clear blue sky, while a dense forest of dark evergreen trees fills the lower slopes in shadow. A few branches in the foreground frame the scene, creating contrast between the warm light on the peaks and the cool tones of the shaded forest.

Evening glow on the Alpental Lodge, Snoqualmie Pass, WA – Winter 2025

A winter evening scene at Alpental in Snoqualmie Pass, Washington. In the foreground stands a tall, rustic wooden ski lodge with balconies and glowing windows. A chairlift rises from the base, illuminated by a single yellow light. Behind the lodge, dramatic rocky cliffs rise steeply, covered in evergreen trees and deep snow, their jagged peaks outlined against a pale twilight sky. The composition contrasts the warmth of the man-made lodge with the rugged cold of the surrounding mountains.

An old, rusted set of train parts sits on abandoned narrow tracks at Snoqualmie Pass, WA. The structure includes a massive spoked wheel with gear-like teeth around its rim, connected to several smaller metal train wheels and a heavy steel frame with exposed springs and axles. Moss and vegetation grow through the gravel beneath, showing years of weathering. Behind the relic, evergreen trees and buildings with bright blue metal roofs stand under an overcast sky, giving the scene a sense of history and abandonment.

Bummed out the interstate is closed because it means my lesson tonight is postponed. But I was worried about my Seattle kids dealing with the extreme cold, so I'm less bummed than I could be. (It's currently 15F/-9C and feels like 2/-13.)

#SnoqualmiePass

Dear people who use I-90 outside #Seattle,

Here's the graphic #WSDOT shared elsewhere while warning how much snow #SnoqualmiePass is expecting today. (Needed because their cameras have lost power.)

I live in Hyak and can attest to the accuracy of this illustration. Delay travel if you can, be super careful if you can't, and OBEY RESTRICTIONS.

In this cartoon, snow dumps on Hyak while one person is smart enough to put on chains and another spins out due to hubris and lack of traction.

Lots of fresh snow for me.

Heard an avalanche. The first I've heard this season, although I'm sure there've been others.

And the interstate keeps fluctuating between open and closed due to collisions and spinouts. Be careful if driving up here!

Can’t wait to check out the new lifts at Alpental!

#snoqualmiepass #Alpental

I spent over an hour clearing my driveway of snow this morning, but last night's dump was a little too late for the Summit ski area to open this weekend. We're good to go Tuesday, though! (Passholders only. General Public on Wednesday.)

#SummitAtSnoqualmie #SnoqualmiePass #SkiWA #skiing

Still a little thwacky down low. Might be a bit too optimistic for November snow but scouting the mountains many times through out the season is the best way to learn them.

#splitboarding #cascades #snoqualmiepass

A snowy forest scene with tall, dark evergreen trees partially covered in snow. The ground is blanketed in thick snow, with some twigs and branches visible. Soft, diffused light creates a serene and wintry atmosphere. Faint splitboard turns define the moment in the scene.

I could, if I felt adventurous, drive to Seattle. But I cannot go to the nearest real town east of me as a big rig spun out and is completely blocking the interstate.

Technically Snoqualmie Pass is still open, but unless you're only going as far as Easton, it may as well not be.

#SnoqualmiePass

Just got a text from WSDOT saying travel time over Snoqualmie Pass may be extended due to snowfall.

Which means we could be mere minutes from our first "Dumbass trucker refused to slow down and is now blocking the entire interstate" text!

The snow is sticking and the Kraken won. This is the first good day I've had in a while.
