Snoqualmie Pass has been working for at least 10 years to get their Master Development Plan (MDP) approved through the USFS.  Last Friday (11/21/08) they finally got the thumbs up.

Now that the administrative hurdle has been there’s just one more.  I can’t imagine Snoqualmie Pass isn’t completely insulated from current economic woes.  Hopefully we see some of this stuff implemented soon.
