View from the Paradise “east†webcam on January 28, 2019
Mt Rainier National Park is open as far as Longmire, but the road to Paradise is not yet open to the public. The weather was nice yesterday (Monday) and the NPS managed to get a good start on plowing the Paradise Parking Lot, which is covered by about 5 feet of snow that has fallen since plowing ceased December 22. The Mt Rainier weather report for the next couple days looks good, so hopefully the Park road crew will be able to finish the job soon. We are expecting the snow to start falling again by the end of the week.
IMG is looking forward to our upcoming programs on the mountain with an AIARE Level 1 avalanche course February 8-10 and a Denali Expedition Seminar February 16-22. All systems are go for these programs!
