My bet would this.

Mt Baker, WA – NOAA 7 Day Forecast
Today: Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 24. Windy, with a south southwest wind 30 to 32 mph, with gusts as high as 41 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 27 to 33 inches possible.


Tonight: Snow showers. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 14. Windy, with a south southwest wind 34 to 39 mph increasing to 41 to 46 mph in the evening. Winds could gust as high as 60 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 35 to 41 inches possible.


Monday: Snow showers. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 20. Windy, with a west southwest wind 28 to 34 mph, with gusts as high as 45 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 14 to 20 inches possible.


Monday Night: Snow showers. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 11. Breezy, with a west southwest wind 18 to 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 17 to 23 inches possible.


Tuesday: Snow showers likely. The snow could be heavy at times. Cloudy, with a high near 17. Breezy, with a west southwest wind 17 to 22 mph becoming south southeast 7 to 12 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 9 to 13 inches possible.


Tuesday Night: A 50 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 12. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible.


Wednesday: A 50 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 19. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.


Wednesday Night: A chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 16.


Thursday – Saturday: Snow likely.

That sure would be a nice pattern for us here! Probably would piss off all the snow haters!

Which brings up a thought - if some hates Winters, cold and snow - why live in the northern part of the country?

Temps do not look promising above 3000' for the next 7 days. The 12th soft opening could be in jeopardy for Kton.

They can get Rime open in one day if they have the temps.

Agree, but the longer term does look favorable. And they would need right humidity and temps for that does not look like it is going to happen. I hope it changes, don't get me wrong.

Looking more like the first or second week in November!

Just thinking the same thing. He'll be back with "they will be the first in the northeast to open"

I really do want to go to K in October skiing I never skiied this month, my skis are at the shops being waxed, tuned, and repaired as I speak.

Maybe he will but ... Sugarloaf or Sunday River are better bets - temps look to be more promising earlier for them!

To me it doesn't matter just want multiple places to open by Thanksgiving with as many trails as possible.

He'll most likely be right.

Gotta give credit where credit is due. This GM is doing a good job and trying to be out front of things.
