Warmer temps have invaded the PNW, leading to spring like conditions across the West side of the cascades. We recommend breaking out the rock skis this weekend, and to chase the sun and softer snow! Very little to no snowfall expected for this weekend. Some resorts have limited grooming on runs, so expect variable conditions! Higher Elevations and resorts further east, like Mission Ridge, will offer best snow conditions.
Summit at Snoqualmie
Weather- Temps: 46°/33°, Sunny Skies, no precipitation on the forcast.
Sunny conditions will prevail, allowing for spring skiing fun! We recommend using your rock ski/board as rocks and branches will be exposed. Summit advises that they have limited groomed runs

Alpental
