While the beginning of the season was somewhat lackluster throughout the West, things are looking up. Admittedly, Washington or Oregon didn’t have it nearly as rough as California, but it was still strange. Big storm totals in February helped push snowfall totals closer to normal levels. Snow totals are looking a little low for the season, but March isn’t over and April can throw some curve balls. With sunny weather and higher temperatures making appearances in the forecast spring skiing season is nearly here! Hucking to slush, soft landings, and blasting corn, the fruits of spring are almost ready for harvest.

With all areas reporting snow bases over 100 inches, spring is looking good in the North West.
