Good news guys, a deep low pressure system is throwing waves of storms, and snow, at the Pacific North West. Mt. Baker, Stevens Pass, the Summit at Snoqualmie, and Crystal Mountain all received 4-6 inches last night once the freezing level dropped. These areas are expected to continue to receive lots of snow until Tuesday, due to big low pressure ridges hitting from Sunday night and Tuesday morning. The front will bring rain and thunder to the coastal and low lying areas with chances of thunder snow up high. Kaboom! Natures level of stoke is high. But beware, temperatures are expected to keep dropping across the cascades over the weekend, so bundle up!

Saturday is International Women’s Ski Day! So ladies, grab your jibbin’ sticks, other glorious lady shredders and check out some of these events. The K2 Alliance and She Jumps will be hosting a lady shred party meeting on the Sundeck at Crystal at 8:30, and Stevens Pass will be hosting a release party for 10 Barrels’ new beer called Goggle Tan, with live music performed by Buzz Brump. So ladies (and gents), grab your gals and head for the hills, it’s gonna be a fun weekend!

Here are links to local ski areas so you can visit their sites for the most up to date info. If you had a great day on the mountain, come by Mountain to Sound Outfitters and let us know how your trip was or feel free to post in the comment section.
