Heading for the Horsehoe Curve

Week #3 of clearing the North Cascades Highway wrapped up yesterday with crews making steady progress toward the hairpin curve below Washington Pass as the big blower was chipping away at one of the larger slide deposits, Cutthroat Ridge 10 (CR10). With the colder temps and occasional snow flurries, one thing is for sure: Not much snow melting is going on up there.
