Happy Holidays! Hello skiers and snowboarders, Very little new snow is in the forecast, as resorts focus on good grooming and snowmaking - when it’s cold enough. The snowpack is below normal, but many slopes and lifts are open. Give it a try. As always, be careful, there are thin spots and other hazards. Stay on the groomers. Multiple low-pressure areas offshore continue to spin weat....

Hello skiers and snowboarders, New snow will fall in the Cascades on Friday, as a modest weather system moves in with a snow level at 4,500, falling to 3,000 ft by later in the day.

High pressure noses in for Saturday and we will se....

Hello skiers and snowboarders, New snow is in the forecast, but how much...and when? For today, we have another dry day with partly sunny skies. Many ski areas are open, but with limited terrain. The clouds will increase on Monday, from a modest low pressure off the California coast. The low will aim light snowfall into the Cascades on Tuesday. The snow level will hover near 5,000-6,ooo ft ....

Hello skiers and snowboarders. We didn’t promise much Cascade snowfall from this weak storm last night and this storm certainly lived up to our meager expectations. The “storm” moved in last night with little or no snowfall. An inch at Mt Baker and a trace to an inch elsewhere. The storm is moving out now with very little additional snowfall. What a dud. A weak high will move....

Hello skiers and snowboarders, After a tough week of weather, a dry spell is ahead for a few days. Last night: The snow level edged upward (5,500 ft), as mild air moved into the Pacific Northwest. The mid and lower slopes saw a rain and snow mix with new snow on the mid and upper slopes. Today, expect minor (trace-2”) new snowfall with a rain/ snow mix on the mid and lower slopes, fr....

Hello skiers and snowboarders: Snow is falling again in the Cascades. The snowpack got beat up with the warm atmospheric river but the snow pack didn’t disappear. We lost a little, but now snow is piling up again. Snow recovery is in progress. The atmospheric river is gone. We are back to typical winter storms, with mountain snow. The snow levels have dropped. Expect 6-15” ....

DEC 3, 2023 Hello skiers and snowboarders: It was a good start to the ski season with the recent one to two feet of new snow. But we still need more for more areas and terrain to open. The snow level bumped up early today to 5,000ft. Part two of this storm series is coming with a new and very wet storm. Right now, snow fall is tapering off, as the snow level rises (5,000 ft) in the Cascades. ....

Hello skiers and snowboarders, Let the new snowfall begin. Expect a roller coaster of weather ahead. There will be new snow for sure - then a rain/snow mix, with snow levels rising. The wild weather will be with us for at least a week and the result will be,initially, abundant new snow in the mountains. But it's not a clean deal with the warmth by Sunday and Monday degrading the new snow. Th....
