Time to Hit Stevens All weekend

Hey , Wake Up ? the Powder Party is not over! This has been an outstanding season with lots of powder days and we are not done yet. Another quality dump is on our doorstep. Some ski areas will be closing after this weekend. Snowpack is above normal by 110-150%..

A beautiful, classic, cool, moist northwesterly flow will develop Friday after the front moves through. This specific weather pattern is uncommon this late in the season. Snow will start to accumulate on Friday and by Friday night snow levels will drop to 1500-2000ft for the entire weekend. All ski areas will get snow, NO rain. Quality will be great. But I favor early in the morning, higher slopes, north facing slopes and groomers. This late in the season, if the sun peaks out for long it will get heavy fast, hence I have some caution. But the forecast looks good and will keep the sun from coming out for the most part. We will see cloudy skies and snow through the entire weekend, therefore I am optimistic. Expect 6-12? Saturday morning, then 2-4? during the day to keep it fresh. Expect another 6-12? for Sunday morning and more during the day Sunday. Both days will be excellent.
