TL;DR
Washington's ski resorts have just received a serious dump, with several areas recording over 50cm of fresh snow in a single 24-hour period. Stevens Pass, Snoqualmie, and White Pass are all showing big numbers, and the broader Pacific Northwest — including Oregon and Montana — has copped a solid hit too. Here's what the data is showing right now.
The Pacific Northwest Has Had One of Its Best Snow Days of the Season
Mid-March isn't supposed to be when the Pacific Northwest delivers its biggest dumps — but nobody told this storm. In the last 24 hours, Washington state's ski resorts have recorded some of the highest single-day snowfall totals of the 2025-26 season, with several areas pushing past the 50cm mark. If you've been watching the forecasts and waiting for a sign to book flights, this might be it.
Snoqualmie Leads the Pack
Both Alpental and Summit West at Snoqualmie recorded 56cm in the last 24 hours — the highest figures across the region. That's a serious amount of snow by anyone's standards. Alpental is currently sitting at 47% of terrain open, which isn't bad given it's mid-March and the resort is still building on a strong recent base. The previous five days had already delivered 168cm across both resorts, so what's sitting under this fresh snow is a well-consolidated base rather than a thin crust over bare ground.
