Chinook Pass Still Buried In Snow

We've been complaining around here that summer will never come, well check out these amazing pictures from Washington's Chinook Pass, where it's evidently still winter.

Crews have been hard at work clearing Chinook Pass of its record snowfall since early April. It's taking forever to get the Pass open though because snow continues to fall. There's still 20 feet of snow there! And with warmer temperatures during the day, that means some serious avalanche dangers.

Go to the WSDOT blog for more cool pictures and information on when the beautiful pass is expected to be open.
