Meeting Place: Issaquah Transit Center, 1464 Newport Way NW, Issaquah, WA 98027. We will meet near the NE entrance of the covered garage, on the ground floor.
If anyone wishes to go directly to the Snow Park, please let me know in advance.
Snow Park: Cabin Creek Sno Park, I-90 exit 63. A Sno Park Pass with the aditional groomed trail sticker is required to park here. Any car that does not have one can pick one up along the way.
The path is on a wide road, and is usually groomed. Light-weight track gear, skating, or heavier tele or AT gear will all work on this trip. Skaters might be frustrated by the plodding pace of the traditional stride skiers. There is is sustained moderate downhill run on the way back, so you should be confident in your ability to control speed.
We will lunch at the top and enjoy the (hopefully) views.
Any trip details not covered here will be emailed on Friday PM.
