Mt Pilchuck in the snow

FJCruiser · Dec 30, 2007

Attempted Mt Pilchuck in the snow today with another FJ40. Got stuck turning around on the road towards the top. Ran into Stealthrunner and Mark M. coming down from the top and held them up for a couple of hours while we got turned around. Thanks again guys for being so patient and helping us out.

There still is a ski area there,

or lodge, or ski patrol, or rules and boundaries.
But the AREA is still there and the skiing is great when the conditions are right.:awesomework:

Is the "No Motorized Vehicles Beyond This Point" sign at the hiking trailhead still up? Is it enforced?

Pat · Jan 11, 2008

Ok so mabey there is some rules, but why would you want to do that there anyway? I think it would a pretty crappy place to try and ride a snowmobile anyways, or good luck getting a dirtbike past all the foot traffic in the summer.

If you go take a chainsaw. Lots of trees down.

Screw that, go a few more miles up the mountain loop, and wheel 4020, TONS of snow up there, (at least there was a few week's ago) and it has done nothing but snow in the hill's since. There is a cool bowl to mess around in, about 3 or 4 miles into it the road split's, straight and you hit the bowl in about another mile or so, and that road goes for another mile or two after and dead ends. Go right at the split, it goes out probably 2 miles and there are a ton of little offshoots. We had to break snow for about 1/2 mile past where the prior people got stuck last time to get to the bowl and didn't try to go any farther as the bowl is fun to play in. The next night we took a right and only made it about a mile (almost to the restroom) and couldn't get up one hill. it's fun........and something new
