A dream powder forecast for the cascades!!!

QUALITY POWDER DUMPS FOR A WEEK - Tuesday, 11:13AM, Dec. 18th

Exceptional storm cycle gearing up. Your gonna love this one.

Expect an additional 2-4 feet of snow in the next 7 days as storms continue to line up and parade toward the Cascades. This moist westerly flow persists with snow levels 1000-3000ft , therefore snow quality is excellent. Each storm is modest with its total snowfall, but the consistency will be the key in piling up our bases and improving coverage, while presenting you freshies often. This is the La Nina reliability I have been talking about. It appears we are feeling its influence, so take advantage of this pattern – an early Christmas gift. Timing and strength of these storms may vary from forecast so check updates, but at this point I am confident in the overall pattern will evolve. The main events will be Wednesday/Thur and Sunday/Mon. Best chance for breaks Friday to Saturday, as high pressure moves through. You will capture some memorable powder days, if you pay attention and know your ski resort.

Here is how your powder days will look for the next week.

What Snow level will be from 1000-3000ft for the next week, generally around 1000-2000ft for outstanding snow quality. There will be wind with each storm, so consider that in your clothing and what mountain aspect you will favor riding.
