Washington's ski conditions this week are marked by minimal new snowfall and moderate snowpack depths. In the last 24 hours, the heaviest snow fell at Elbow Lake (2 inches), Skate Creek (2 inches), and June Lake (2 inches), though most other areas saw no significant accumulation or slight melting. Paradise and Cayuse Pass near Mount Rainier remain standout locations with substantial snowpack depths of 106 and 107 inches, respectively, though no new snow has been reported there. Crystal Mountain Resort, in proximity to these locations, continues to offer excellent base conditions for skiing. Similarly, Stevens Pass, near sensors like Tye Mill and Blewett Pass, maintains good snowpack despite a lack of recent snowfall.

Over the next five days, the forecast suggests light snowfall, with locations such as Easy Pass, Brown Top, and Beaver Pass expecting up to 2 inches. While not significant, these areas are near the North Cascades Highway, impacting resorts like Mount Baker, known for its heavy snow base and backcountry options. Meanwhile, the Snoqualmie Pass region, represented by nearby sensors like Olallie Meadows and Skookum Creek, shows stable conditions with limited new snowfall. While no major storms are expected across the state, current base depths and mild conditions make this an excellent time for skiing, particularly at higher elevations like Mount Baker, Crystal Mountain, and Stevens Pass. Travelers should prepare for variable conditions and monitor for updates as forecasts evolve.
