The White Salmon Valley School District has established snow routes for buses that pick up students that live off Snowden Road and the Cook-Underwood Highway. District Superintendent Rich Polkinghorn says difficulties getting buses onto side roads in those higher elevation areas during winter conditions led to putting together alternative locations where students can catch their bus. The alternative locations are at the Underwood Community Center, the Skamania County Road Shop lot, Echo Glen at Snowden Road, and Pyatt Road at Snowden Road.
