Ski Report: Ski season isn't over until La Niña says it's over, 6-10" of powder this weekend
Spring is here, but ski season isn't over until La Niña says it's over. Skiers and boarders, we've got an early April powder weekend on the horizon, and some resorts are even extending their seasons.
According to The Grand Poobah of Powder, ski resorts in the Cascades are expecting up to 4" inches of new snow. On Saturday – this is no April fools' joke – 6-10" inches of fresh powder. Finishing off the weekend, we're looking at 2-4" inches of fluff.
Editors note: Snow totals were updated on Friday, March 31 at 12:00 p.m. PT. Be sure to check the FOX 13 weather forecast before you drive to the mountains!
