Hello skiers and snowboarders,
We are expecting a ridge of high pressure to build, bringing sunny and mild conditions through Saturday. The map below reflects the temperatures that we can expect at our ski resorts.
During the day on Sunday, a trough of low pressure will slowly move into our region, initially bringing rain to most of the slopes for the afternoon and evening. This will be the case for Mt. Baker, Stevens Pass, Snoqualmie Pass, and Crystal Mt. However, inland areas such as 49 Degrees North and Silver Mt will remain dry for the day. Mission Ridge should also remain dry during the day on Sunday.
For Monday, cooler air will be in place, and we are expecting light snow for the mid and upper slopes. Up to 3".

Extended Outlook: Tuesday, April 8 to Friday, April 11
For much of this period, there will be weak areas of low pressure that move into the region. However, we are not expecting any heavy precipitation over this period, with perhaps up to 0.50 inches of water equivalent on Tuesday. 💦
(Tues) With warmer temperatures (see map below), this would bring up to 5” of snow for the upper slopes on April 8 (above 5500'). ❄️
Wednesday, April 9, to Friday, April 11, we are expecting just light precipitation for those days, likely up to 0.20 inches of water equivalent daily.💦
April 9 to April 11, that would bring 1 to 2” of snow for the upper slopes.❄️
Look for our update this Sunday.
