To use Delaney's words, we "manned up"

This is Jon. We decided to honor our presidents this President's Day by opting against the weatherman's warnings and headed up into the mountains despite the predictions of 3-6 FEET over the next couple of days. Since Mt. Rainier was closed, we opted to go to Blewett Pass (4100 feet) and it was an apocalypse of snow. Brittany decided to stay at the homestead to nurse soreness from a horrific (her words) sledding accident from the previous weekend. We brought our toboggans with us for sledding and there were a couple of good spots, but there was so much snow that it was difficult to keep the toboggans from sinking.

Not an exaggeration here. The snow was this deep in some areas as proven by our tour guide.

As you can see in most of the pictures, we had blue skies for much of our adventure. But Mother Nature proves she can change quickly and it soon became a windy blizzard in a matter of minutes. Despite Delaney's concern that "we're gonna die, Dad" our sherpa (Adelyn) kept us on the trail.
