The first of multiple storms heading for the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada has delivered exciting snow totals.

Ski areas across Washington and Oregon picked up 4-8″ of snow in the last 24 hours on top of precipitation that stacked up over the weekend and earlier this week. With opening days around the corner for many resorts in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and Canada, solid snow totals are a great way to kick off the season.

Here’s which ski areas have gotten the most snow over the last few days.

Oregon

Timberline Lodge sits at the top of the snow totals for Tuesday into Wednesday, with 8″ falling by Wednesday morning and 18″ over the previous three days. On the other side of Mt. Hood, Meadows got 6″ overnight and 11″ in the previous couple of days. Timberline and Meadows have more snow on the way with 9″ and 7″ respectively forecasted over the next five days.

Central and Eastern Oregon also got a chunk of snow this week. Snow totals at Mt. Bachelor are being reported in the 6″ range; however, a walk through the parking lot Tuesday afternoon would say otherwise. The ski area is reporting 9″ over the last two days.

Although it sits slightly lower, Hoodoo got a solid 9″ of snow this week, with 4″ falling in the last 24 hours. Willamette Pass also got 8″ over the last five days and three more inches as of Wednesday. The next leg of the storm isn’t forecasted to bring quite as much to Central Oregon, but lingering showers are possible, according to Open Snow’s forecast.

Washington

Ski areas further north in Washington also scored with White Pass, Crystal Mountain, Stevens Pass, and Mt. Baker, all getting 5″ of snow in the last 24 hours. Alpental tops the chart with 6″ of snow as of Wednesday morning, on top of the 6″ that fell Tuesday. White Pass should see the most continued precipitation in the coming days as eight more inches of snow are forecasted to fall through the end of the week. Crystal Mountain and Stevens Pass could also see another 6″ of snow before the end of the week.

British Columbia

British Columbia is tracking a tiny bit behind the US Pacific Northwest, but the next storm could turn things around starting Wednesday. Coast Range resorts like Whistler could see 4-8″ at mid to upper mountain elevations by Thursday night.

Further inland, Whitewater is looking to have the best forecast in BC, with 6-12″ falling, although Fernie got more than 4″ as of Tuesday afternoon, and another 6-12″ could fall at upper mountain by Wednesday. Revelstoke and Kicking Horse could both get between 5 and 10 inches of snow by Thursday morning as well.

There’s not much notable snow in the forecast for the US Pacific Northwest or British Columbia into next week, but you never know when the next low pressure cycle could come in. Many resorts in these areas have scheduled openings in mid-late November and early December, which still gives plenty of time to build a good base.
