Snow Reporter Comments: 12/16 OPS UPDATE: Hi all, a quick word on the worsened condition of Highway 410 at Boise Creek: we are working closely with WSDOT but at this time have not been given any repair timeframe estimate or other information on workaround possibilities, as they continue to juggle multiple projects across the state after last week's historic flooding. We will continue to remain closed through at least Thursday 12/18, but, while chances are very slim, weare holding on to some hope for this coming weekend. Stay tuned for further updates on operations come tomorrow, hopefully alongside more info from WSDOT.As of now, 410 remains closed, with limited access for vital services and local residents only. Please refer to WSDOT resources and the Enumclaw Police Dept page for more information on vital access. This week's forecast shows decent snowfall accumulations into the weekend, so, finally, snowpack may no longer a barrier to operations. Stay tuned to the mountain report for updates on this. Big thanks to the Greenwater Fire Department, our Crystal Mountain team members, and the entire Crystal Community for your continued support as we ride out this rough start.
