The flakes are flying

The snow is crashing down at the higher levels this week and it seems Mt Baker could be in for an early season:

PRE-SEASON SNOW REPORT 2009-10


Friday Nov. 6, 2009

Hi Skiers and Snowboarders,

What a great start to November - the storms are rolling in and the forecast looks great! It's currently snowing at the mountain, and forescasts are calling for up to 14 inches of snow by Saturday morning, then another 10 inches for Sunday morning. Sunday looks clear, but we could get a little more snow Monday - Tuesday with freezing level up a bit Monday then back down to 2,500 feet Tuesday, then more clearing Wednesday through Friday. Another good storm cycle is forecasted for next weekend with more snow.

So - with a possible 24 inches of snow this weekend, we will see what happens early in the week then reassess the weekend forecast on Wednesday for a possible opening date late next week or early the following week. Keep in mind, the possible opening date is dependent on how much snow we get and how the long-range forecast looks. So, stay tuned here - we will be updating this report as the snow falls and will post the most updated opening date info here!
