Here comes the snow! A series of storms will bring multiple rounds of precipitation to the PNW by the end of the week. Best chances for lowland snow will be on Friday! Moderate to heavy mountain snow will continue into weekend. *Reposted to edit correct Issued Date* pic.twitter.com/YMdHegokMh— NWS Spokane (@NWSSpokane) November 28, 2023
This means that there will be some much needed mountain snow for the ski resorts. There is also a possibility for snow in the valley as well!
So far this season there hasn’t been much snowfall and ski resorts are waiting for a big snowfall. Maybe after this weekend, resorts in our area will open for ski season.
