Snow has been falling much of the day at Snoqualmie Pass. And it’s accumulating.
There isn’t quite enough snow to those hoping Snoqualmie Ski Resort will open anytime soon. The people at Snoqualmie Resort say they need 18-inches to about two-feet of heavy snow to even think about opening up.
But that didn’t stop people from coming who just want to play.
As night fell, the snow really started coming down at Snoqualmie Summit, coating everything in sight in white.
Even earlier, there was snow enough to build a snow person or two.
Simon Cervera of Renton was asked if they came up to the pass to make a snowman.
“No,” he said. “We just wanted to see how the snow was.”
And how was the snow? “It’s good,” he said, looking around. “It’s finally getting going.”
Lupe Dela Rainza and her nephews were going at it, sledding, Pacific Northwest style.
“This is their first snow,” she said. “They just came from Mexico. So, it is an amazing view for them. For me, I’m used to 12-feet of snow. But for them, it’s an amazement.”
