I went up there with some friends in the afternoon on the 23rd and it turned into one of the scariest experiences of my life. Barely any branches were breaking on our way up, but after a couple hours up there they started coming down all around us. A 60 foot tall tree fell right behind us on the path as we were starting down which really kicked us into gear. We ended up basically running down and had to go over like 10 fallen trees on the way with more branches and trees coming down all around us. It was awesome, but the sheer number of limbs coming down at once was pretty terrifying. 1 Quote Everett Snowfall 2018-19: 24.75"2019-20: 10.5" 1/10: 0.5"1/12: 5.5"1/13: 1"1/14: 1.5"1/15: 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
