DAILY DOSE OF DAYDREAM

Kevin Smith- A picture is worth a thousand words.

Hello Skiers and Snowboarders,

Short-Term Forecast

Sunday is the day to get out for this coming week! So, enjoy the epic powder received this past week. We expect light snow during the day on Sunday. Then, late afternoon and more likely into the evening, snow levels will rise. Thus, rain for most slopes in the evening. However, Mt Baker, 49 Degrees North, and Silver Mountain will still receive snow in the evening.

Monday and Tuesday, we expect a strong, moist southwest flow that will bring abundant moisture and, at times, moderate to heavy rainfall. However, 49 Degrees North and Silver Mountain will get some snow on Monday morning. The map below shows that the dreaded Atmospheric River is returning for this week.

Will the March Miracle Snow return? Look at our extended outlook.
