Schweitzer was good over NY. Firmer on Sunday, but groomers good and off groomed ok on northside. Monday was a beautiful sunny day, groomers epic, and off-groomed soft and loaded with windblown pow was fantastic in places. So all holding up really well.
Think we'll try and hit Mission Ridge this weekend, so hopefully more storms will roll through.

Finally a small system has rolled through. Red lightly brushed with 2cm of snow. 49N almost as bad 1" at base 2" on top. Schweitzer received high honors with 5". Lookout and Silver both reporting 4". Whitefish 3".
Groomers have been okay but we really needed some new snow.

yep - we've got no plans this weekend but not looking like any storms before then. Next weekend we're at Red so some nice fluffy stuff before/during that trip would be nice.

A new storm cycle starting 1-3 inches so far heavier snow fall expected Mond ay into Wed. Excellent bases at the areas this should really improve the skiing.

yep - looks like La Nina is back. Forecast snow falls for the Cascades in next 3 days are in 50-80 inch range. Was snowing very hard when we left Mission Ridge this afternoon.

Hope you're right. Forecast for Red is changing hourly, but hopefully a decent top-up will arrive by Friday. Wish I'd been at Fernie this week!

The round of openings was great. Snow and crowds were another matter. Silver opened on Thursday with 23", Friday 49N opened with 17".
Currently we have a warm front moving through and once again Red Mtn. Leads with 15 cm/ 5.9". Schweitzer 7". 49N 4", Whitefish 3", Lookout 2" and Silver which did receive some liquid moisture yesterday 7" in 24 hr. And 2" overnight.
For a change wide rockered skis were a benefit.

Warm front continues 2" at Lookout, Silver, and Schweitzer.
49N 3".
Whitefish 2" 12 hr, 4" in the 24 hr.
