ummm i think that road is gone now. didnt it get completely washed out in the floods?

i think id at least look into that cause i thought the only way too jacks pass was the other way because of the road.

PM junkyardjim im pretty sure he lives over that way. or Crash

The road over Jacks Pass is open. It will be GATED by the county on the Skykomish side "soon" the index side will remain open.

How can the county gate the road from the Skykomish side when that is the only way for some people to get to their cabins up in Skyco 3 and 4 develpments? The road from the Index side is impassable for right now due to the flooding not too far past Index. If it were open on the Index side there wouldn't be a chimo/MRU van at a neighbors house. He would be staying at his own place in the Skyco development, but since it's 2wd he's staying at a friends house

As far as snow goes, you might be able to find some up FS road 62. On right hand side of hwy 2 between Zeke's and Index

the deal with this gateing plan is they are going to put gates up alon the jacs pass road and then give keys ONLY to those who have a residence along mt. index road. they are going to do this to prevent any sort of possible crime from happening.
