Skip Work and Hit the Slopes on Thursday

What an amazing forecast. Thursday is this year's official skip work and head to the mountains day. Rachelle and I will be at Stevens bright and early so meet us there or catch a ride!


Late Tuesday night, snow begins to really dump. Powder Day on Wednesday with 5-12in new Wed AM and snowing through the day. Excellent quality with a 1500ft snow level. Another 4-8? during the day, filling in your tracks. Some wind might be a problem Wednesday. Night skiing will be the best Wednesday night as a convergence zone will focus a lot of snow on the Summit and Stevens.
That CZ will mean possible ATFD (all time favorite day) for Stevens and Alpental on Thursday morning. Not to be denied: Baker, Crystal and White will have untracked and continued snowy conditions on Thursday, with all resorts seeing a 1000ft SL and dry light powder ? favor north slopes. Best quality snow early. Expect another 6-12inches, Thursday morning with more during the day.

Update:
UP TO TWO FEET OF SNOW IS LIKELY IN THE CASCADES FROM WEDNESDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SNOW LEVELS NEAR 2500 FEET ON WEDNESDAY WILL FALL TO BELOW 1000 FEET LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. TRAVEL THROUGH THE PASSES WILL LIKELY BE DIFFICULT DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. IFYOU PLAN TO TRAVEL ACROSS THE CASCADES ANYTIME WEDNESDAY THROUGHTHURSDAY...PLAN EXTRA TIME FOR YOUR TRIP OR CONSIDER MAKINGALTERNATE PLANS.
