It's sad that Mission has the most snowmaking in Washington :ugh:

I may be wrong, but I think Mission has the ONLY snowmaking in Washington.

Snow coming back on Sunday, with next week looking promising.

Crystal has 1 gun set up at the base right now

with the exception of a few seasons, we don't really need snowmaking on the west side

And I should be there tomorrow morning for the geekery but instead I'm stuck in Walla Walla through the weekend

the ski areas might need quite a bit more on the lower elevations but the "magic carpet" is running just fine.
