Logan Pass opened yesterday. Here, a youngster runs down the snowy slopes as a thunderstorm approaches.

Here's what to expect: Lots of snow ... in fact, more snow than I've seen a few years. Great for summertime skiing, while it lasts (usually a week or two). The boardwalk even is under about three-four feet of snow, even at the bottom.

Traffic delays: With road construction on both sides of the pass, unless you're extrememly lucky, you'll sit in traffic for at least 20 minutes. It started to rain yesterday, juts a brief shower, but everyone seemed to leave all at once and I suspect those folks waited a half hour just to get out of the Parking lot at the pass.
