A WINTER STORM WATCH is in effect for the Cascades and Olympics from Friday evening through Sunday evening. Forecasts are for potentially 2-3 feet of snow alone with the storm due in Friday evening through Sunday evening, although snow levels will gradually rise from 2,500 feet Friday to 4,500 feet by Sunday, getting Snoqualmie Pass back over to rain at some point. But this has the makings of an incredible avalanche risk, so if you're planning on backcountry skiing this weekend, pay close attention to all warnings and roped off areas. It's also possible we could see intermittent pass closures due to avalanche control. So even through travel conditions are expected to improve greatly in the lowlands, mountain pass travel this weekend remains challenging.
Lots of new snow and some warm temps to get the old stuff packed. Sounds like it's just what we needed to get the riding in full swing up at Baker !
BE CAREFUL. High avy danger too.
