FYI

Pass highway closed all weekend

The North Cascades Highway is closed again because of the danger of avalanches, and it will remain closed all weekend.

The cross-mountain route had opened May 1 to traffic, but warmer temperatures have caused extremely unstable conditions in potential avalanche areas, state Transportation Department spokesman Dustin Terpening said.
