The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009
Posted by Craig Hill @ 02:02:18 pm

From the Associated Press:

Six inches of new snow on Cayuse Pass Tuesday morning forced the Transportation Department to put off plans to open the pass at noon.

With more snow and cold weather in the forecast, the department postponed the opening until it's safe from avalanche danger. Crews hope to open the pass in time for the Memorial Day weekend.

Cayuse Pass is on Highway 123 in Mount Rainier National Park. Nearby Chinook Pass on Highway 410 also is closed.

Snow also hit Interstate 90 over Snoqualmie Pass, and for a brief time Tuesday morning chains were required. Eastbound traffic was blocked for nearly six hours by a boulder that rolled into the roadway.

Up to 8 inches of snow are forecast Tuesday on the west slopes of the Cascades.
