Don't feel bad... I got my Xterra stuck yesterday.
 Damned factory M&S tires are fine for the lighter shit but when you start getting a foot on the ground with packed ice under it, all bets are off.  Winch will be installed come next season, digging out with a shovel sucks.

Which is why I have 3 liters of water, a couple bags of turkey jerky, some energy bars, a blanket and most importantly, toilet paper, stashed in the back of my SUV.
Getting stuck someplace happens more often than you would think. |

Stay warm, the gas will hold out, and you're surrounded by frozen water so you don't need to be thirsty.
Hopefully you're comfortably asleep right now as I write this, and everything will be fine in the morning. CJ |

Can someone please tell me what state snoqualmi pass is located in?
gaspain: Please be careful of CO poisoning, when you are running your engine that could happen. You should always keep a small survival kit in your car for such purposes, such as a couple of MREs, water, winter clothing etc. |

We were stuck on Stevens for a couple hours two weeks ago - AFTER I chained up the minivan
The passes can suck. Good luck!How often do you go over tha passes in the winter? If you do it very often and they don't make chains for your bimmer, you might consider a separate set of Nokian WRs and rims for the winter. They are marketed as all seasons, but have both M&S and Sever Service marks. They will probably be mushier than your tires on dry pavement, but they kick ass in the rain and snow... |

If the gods smile favorably you have some forest to trot off into to go pee, else you are forced to pee into a jar or just palin hang it out and go in semi-public. None of the adjacent drivers will ever see you again so go ahead and hang it out if you have to! Snoqualmie sucks with the wet snow and avalanches. White Pass is almost better and does not take much longer.

Here's the cam page for Snoqualmie...
wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/passes/snoqualmie/default.aspx Can't see anything right now (no shit, Sherlock  ) but you can come back and check it (and the others) come morning to see how bad it was... and it can get BAD in that area. ETA: changed link to a better one. |

This is why you should always have a deck of cards in car. Becuase when you get stuck you pull out the cards and play solitare. After awhile some guy will come up over you shoulder and say, Put that red ten on the black jack. Now you have some one to help you.

Personal preference...Got a set on my Benz right now and they rock. Can also be studded. If you are interested drop me a line and I will try to get a hold of the guy in Denver who set me up with a sweet deal (4 shipped to NW AR---$500ish  ). |

Been watching the webcams - clearly make out a couple plows working the West Summit of the pass. Nothing on camera on the Franklin Falls side of the pass.
If Im reading the maps right, are both of those locations on either side (West and East) of the summit of the pass? |
