How's the road to Washington Pass from the east side? Might need to do some ski touring if you saved me any lines.

This doesn't look like Harts pass, Looks fun though! That was back when it used to snow in the winter time!

NO TRAILERS ALLOWED past the base of the hill.... The snow has melted about half way up.
Yes, the road is that bad. It is called "dead horse pass" for a reason.
Rode there on Tuesday. You can park your trailer right at the bottom at the barricade. You're not going to be driving up the road any farther past that because the snow is too deep still. That being said, once you start climbing the hill that whole aspect is south facing and almost all the snow has melted off. So you are riding 2-3 miles probably of dirt with patches of snow. Right about deadhorse, you hit the snow again and the famous Harts Pass whoops. Ended up leaving a sled up there overnight while we got spare parts because a buddy sheared off a couple bolts that hold the skid in place on a 13 Polaris Pro.
Not a real easy access to the area but the snow was pretty good once you got to the top. You just have to earn it.

so i have recently been able to get a new sled to ride after 4 years of not having a sled. where is this pass at? i would like to try and get one ride this year.
About 5-51/2 hours from Oak Harbor, Hwy 20 out of Mazama/ Winthrop via Stevens Pass.
then my next question woukd be is it worth it to make the trip
Looks like no new since last Monday, they lost about seven inches since. 2-3 miles of dirt riding to get in. $120-150 in gas round trip, probably best to get a motel, hate to do that long of a day trip $100. They could get snow tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday, then the snow level goes way up. So Ya, if you could do a midweek ride it would probably be alright, after that. 
If you're going to spend 5+ hours driving from OH I'd go north into Canada instead.
that's kind of where I am thinking about heading. anyone know how the snow is up there?
