Washington ski resorts open early due to above-average snowfall from La Niña and strong storms.
Washington ski resorts in the Cascades are preparing for an early season due to above-average snowfall this fall, with several reporting snowpack levels at or above normal for late October.
Resorts including Crystal Mountain and Stevens Pass have opened select terrain and are offering early-season skiing, ahead of typical openings in mid-November.
Officials attribute the early snow to a strong Pacific storm system and a developing La Niña pattern, which has brought cooler temperatures and increased precipitation to the region.
While the early snow is welcomed by the industry, operators remain cautious about long-term stability as winter weather patterns remain unpredictable.
