Last Updated: February 13, 2026

Washington ski resorts are set for significant snowfall over the next five days, with the North Cascades leading the charge. Wells Creek near Mt. Baker is forecasted to receive the highest totals at 30", making Mt. Baker Ski Area the top destination for fresh powder. Nearby Mf Nooksack and Elbow Lake are also expecting 28" and 25" respectively, reinforcing Mt. Baker's outlook. Stevens Pass, another major resort, is forecasted for 19", with adjacent areas like Alpine Meadows and Fish Lake seeing up to 22". Snoqualmie Pass (Hyak area) should see up to 15", which bodes well for The Summit at Snoqualmie.

To the south, White Pass Ski Area should benefit from up to 20" of fresh snow, while Crystal Mountain near Morse Lake and Cayuse Pass is expecting up to 19". Paradise at Mount Rainier will also see 17–18" of new snow, providing excellent backcountry conditions. Central Washington’s Blewett Pass and Mission Ridge areas are forecasted for 16–17". Areas east of the Cascades like Mazama and Twisp will see up to 22", benefiting backcountry and Nordic operations. In terms of current snowfall, accumulation in the past 24 hours is modest, mostly under 1", but heavy snow is expected to arrive imminently. Seattle and Spokane are unlikely to be directly affected, but mountain travel will be impacted, and avalanche danger may increase.
