Here’s Who Got the Most Powder

In the Pacific Northwest, it’s been a messy few days.

Surges of wind and moisture battered local ski resorts as an atmospheric river passed through. Fickle freezing levels presented the risk of rain, and in Seattle, power outages weren’t uncommon.

The intense weather complicated local ski resort operations. On Tuesday, White Pass Ski Area temporarily closed due to high winds. Further south, in Oregon, Mt. Mood Meadows and Timberline Lodge also pressed the pause button Tuesday.

“The current wind speeds and direction pose a high risk to our Team, Guests and Lifts,” Mt. Hood Meadows wrote in a social media post

to the new Powder To The People newsletter for weekly updates.Other Pacific Northwest resorts dealt with reduced operations. But the storm wasn’t just about gusts and stagnant chairlifts. Powder (or, more precisely, Cascade Concrete), too, was part of the agreement as snow stacked up at ski areas across Washington, Oregon, and even Idaho.

Skiing footage from Tuesday looked particularly tantalizing.

Here’s who was dealt the best hand in the past 48 hours, based on snow reports from the included resorts. Many of these totals are from summit measurements.

Pacific Northwest 48 Hour Storm Totals

Mt. Hood Meadows, Oregon: 9 inches

Timberline Lodge, Oregon: 12 inches 

Lookout Pass, Idaho: 13 inches

Silver Mountain Resort, Idaho: 16 inches

Crystal Mountain, Washington: 18 inches

Alpental, Washington: 21 inches 

Mt. Baker Ski Area, Washington: 22 inches

Stevens Pass, Washington: 22 inches

If you were thinking of taking advantage of the new snow, the opportunity to do so may be close soon, as a warming spell is arriving at many ski areas in the Pacific Northwest. At Crystal Mountain, for instance, temperatures could exceed 40 degrees almost daily for the rest of this week.  Thankfully, clear skies are also in the forecast, so you won’t need to pack a trash bag. Sunscreen, on the other hand, is advisable.

It’s entirely too early for these kinds of conditions, but we can’t deny the allure of skiing in a hoodie under the sun. Our advice? Take it for what it is. March, hopefully, will present a colder and snowier change in fortunes.
