They're expecting 3-6 feet of snow with winds 25 gusting over 50. No way to manage that with just a couple plow drivers and hanging out at Paradise in a storm like that is not fun anyway. Should be good coverage when it reopens next week though!

Hot in Florida
Straight nuking on the webcams
You're welcome f*ckers

[Buster Highmen]

Some hope with awareness of a potential washout early next week.

Quick mission to Stevens this morning. Still coming down hard, so I'll be back up tomorrow. Later today will be even better, but coverage is still quite thin out there.

I only got yelled at once by the crew setting up for the rail jam so skiers beware I guess.

Nuking at my place all morning

forecast discussion

A wetter system will impact the area by Saturday morning,
bringing along copious amounts of moisture, breezy conditions, and
more mountain snow. Winds look to definitely be breezy throughout
the coast and the interior by Saturday morning, and will need to
be monitored for a potential wind advisory. Snow levels will
slowly rise to around 2500 to 3000 feet throughout Saturday
evening. Even with snow levels being a touch higher, heavy
mountain snow will still continue, and moderate to heavy rain can
be expected elsewhere. This timeframe onward is when hydrologic
concerns will heightened, with rising rivers and snowmelt runoff,
because precipitation will compound on each other in the next
several days.

An atmospheric river will push into Western Washington early on
Sunday, bringing widespread moderate rainfall throughout the area,
with the heaviest rain likely in the Olympic basins, along with
the Cascades. Another round of breezy winds are likely as well,
especially areas near the water (coastal locations and areas
around Whidbey Island northward). Snow levels will rise to around
5500 to 6000 feet by Sunday afternoon, limiting snow to the higher
elevations in the mountains. With snow levels rising during this
time and relatively warm rain falling on fresh snow, hydrologic
impacts can be expected, especially with the continuous swath of
moisture, this will make river flooding more likely along with
snowmelt runoff in the mountains. See the hydro section down below
for more details.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...A second, stronger
atmospheric river will impact W WA by Monday morning and last into
Tuesday. Ensemble model guidance depicts a strong plume of
southwesterly Pacific moisture being aimed directly in our
region. Guidance is leaning towards this system being the
strongest in terms of precipitation and moisture for the area,
with temperatures exceeding 50 degrees. On top of that, snow
levels rise even more to around 7000 to 8000 feet. By this time
rivers will likely be running at elevated levels, this will be a
very heightened timeframe for multiple rivers reaching flood
stage, and several other elevated hydrologic impacts. More info
will likely be ironed out in the coming days as we get more river
and QPF guidance.

Good first day at crustal with better than expected surface conditions. The Arrival Experience™ was top notch and the Potemkin Village is coming along nicely.

We're farming the low angle goods in Beaver valley today... Might make it up to Stevens tomorrow AM. First wave of the storm was more generous than forecasted!

I cant seem to find any info about this online, but do either White Pass or Mission Ridge offer daycare onsite?

My daughter went to that daycare(mission) unintentionally via over the rockery and under the net.... no injuries but boy did feel like a terrible father.

Shit, they just emailed me back and confirmed. Attendance fell off after covid and never picked back up so they axed it this year. It would be cool if they just kept the space as a free play area for parents to watch Jr as they swapped skiing.

Mission rode nice both Friday morning and Sunday afternoon (until wind closed Chair 2), was happy to see the cat track to 3 open! But the real jewel was the nearly 2' that fell on Hwy 2, backyard pow laps in effect

I think they are using it as a locker room but don’t quote me. Jackattack would know for sure
